    Get an 835257K6 hub kit and install it. Torque prop nut to 100 lbs/ft.

    If there is any rattle or movement, the prop OR the propshaft have a problem.

    I had a 835257K6 sitting around from another motor and just put it on and no wobble. It's solid. So is this the hub kit I should use or why do you think the others had wobble? Thanks

    Given the 3 choices, I'd go with the K6 since it tightened down well.

    To be honest, I feel it would be best to have the other ones (and the shaft) inspected. There is some movement, but that was quite extreme.

    Just make sure that you were using ONLY the components that came in the box with each of the hub kits (do NOT intermix washers, sleeves castle drives, nuts, etc).

    Ok thanks Don, and I did only use the ones that came with each hub kit. Very strange for sure
