    Why is my prop so hard to get off????

    I have never had a prop that had to be beat on by a rubber hammer to get off????????

    I put plenty of grease on the shaft and washers as well as the splines. I pull prop every six month to inspect for line and change LU oil.

    I usually just snug down the prop nut like I have every boat I have ever had and no problems with them.

    Ideas???????????? 2005 115/yamaha prop

    I would change the thrust washer and see if that makes a differences. They make different ones and yours may be the wrong one for the prop that you are running.
