I had new lu install little over year ago I don't think they put proper spacer for prop https://postimg.cc/bZNk166W

Could be the wrong thrust washer or the right thrust washer that failed due to improper torque of the propeller nut. Have seen the latter way too many times.

Folks don't want to buy a torque wrench. Or use the one they may have.

For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost.

From what I have seen tighter is better then loose.

[DennisJensen]

The nut didn't seem too tight. But I’m not sure what the spec is. So do you think the damage is bad or did I catch it in time?

[DennisJensen]

Could’ve bearing housing broke and shifted back into the prop?

[DennisJensen]

Omg I’m stupid the spacer should work if either one moves.

[yam911]

I have not heard of a bearing housing migrating aft. Have heard of many propellers moving forward into the gear case and the bearing housing.

Thanks yam911 does the damage look I need to replace lu or prop?
