    Prop removal and installation

    Took my prop off to inspect shaft for fishing line. Wasn't expecting there to be three washers. Is there any order to which these should go back on? Just wanted to make sure I had it right. 225 Pro XS with Tempest Plus. Thanks.

    Once the hub and prop are on the shaft, stack washers in the following order:

    -Thickest washer FIRST
    -Thinnest, "Bellville" (spring/washer)
    -Medium thickness washer LAST.

    always wanted to make sure I did this right. Good reading here. I even cut out the little picture of prop installing from my new fury prop box to save. I found it pretty helpful cause it is not like I change props everyday.
