Ever have a Minnkota trolling motor prop that you couldn't get off Your TM?

[Jonestrollingmotor]

In all my years of repairing trolling motors, I have had one prop that I couldn't get off and had to cut off. I used a die grinder with a cutoff wheel to cut it off. Most will have a bent shear pin that is in-bedded in the prop material to hold it on. For this, if it's severe, the prop is no good any way so "if" you should break a blade while hitting it, it's no big deal. A ball peen hammer on the blades, close to the hub will get the prop off. I don't have a "prop puller" (never seen one). I do have several pullers, however, and to get them behind the prop hub would destroy the prop also.

Just sold one two days ago that I couldn't get off. I just added another stainless steel washer to tighten it up, told the purchaser about it and away he went with it. His baby now.

I used a hack saw and cut the prop off.

I had to cut the prop off one of mine acouple years ago. The pin was bent so bad it was wrapping around the prop shaft. No other way than getting a saw and going to work for acouple of hours.

Plenty of good advice.
Try harder.
