I just put a brand new prop (24p Bravo FS) on a brand new 300HP V8 Verado (2B646603) and after tightening it to the recommended 55 ft-lbs it binds in one spot on the revolution. I can rotate it through but it gets pretty tight in this one spot and you can hear something rubbing, but I can’t isolate it.
The motor has never been run, I was just getting it ready to launch it for the first time. I’m using an old solid 1 1/4” fat shaft hub kit from my prior 250 ProXS, but this hub kit is supposed to work on the V8 Verados and there are no visible issues with it.
Has anyone experienced anything like this?
