The laser 2 prop that I am using on my 2010 Optimax has a solid rubber hub instead of the flow torque design. It rattles when in gear at idle but other than being slightly annoying is it going to hurt anything in the long run?

Not usually. And this is far less noticeable when in the water.

In the water going at low speeds is when I notice it, it goes away as rpms increase.
Make sure the prop is tight... That must be a relatively old Laser-II, right?

I believe so, it takes the rectangle vent plugs. I torqued it to 55 ft lbs.Originally Posted by EuropeanAM
