Any "do-it-yourself" tips? I would like to avoid bribing the boat into the
shop for this. '03 Johnson 115/4S and yes I have a good selection of
tools.

Should I get a new cotter pin or is the old one good? What type of grease,
if any should be applied to the spline? Any torque recs on the
castlenned nut or just screw in as far as it will go in with the pin
hole alligned?

Thanks,

Vince

I would replace the cotter pin.........SS one will set you back a whole
$0.75

Use waterproof grease.

I am sure there are torque recs but I never bothered...I just put the prop
on and tightened down the nut (replacing the hardware in reverse order of
how I took it off).
