    Prop Hub

    How often do you have to replace your prop hub for the fat shaft? I just had to replace another one. I am on my forth one in about 3 1/2 years. May be 100 hours total.

    I check them carefully after each prop switch. They seem to be weak at the tip and ofter spider crack ( ) at that location. For the most part they hold up, but I would say I switch them out about once ever year or year and a half.

    Blair I had the plastic bushing come out of one and the bushing of another one would no longer go on the prop shaft. Then I had one that broke off right where you are talking about. That piece has to be shortened some for one of my props.

    I think people over tighten them the only ones I have ever broke were really torqued down. I just hold the prop and tighten them now. and I have not broke any
    in a long time. I always try and keep an extra hub in the truck just in case

    You're right Connor, I would be very easy to take that the wrong way. But I guess it depends on where you let your mind go.............
