simple prop question--to settle a friendly argument

225 pro xs
Do any of you guys torque the prop on your motors after taking it off for whatever reason, and if you do, what do you torque it to??
Thanks in advance

If it is the newer Flo-Torq hubs it is 100 foot lbs, if it is the old press in hub it is 55 foot lbs.

There's a simple method to determine proper torque:

Look at the hub. If it's a PLASTIC, DELRIN HUB, inspect the "thrust washer" end of the hub. Does the hub have the "conical filler sleeve" installed on this end? IF SO: TORQUE TO 100 ft. lbs. (This hub is commonly used with the Tempest/Trophy/Fury Props).

ALL OTHERS used in our applications (including the solid HD hub for fat-shaft models): Torque to 55 ft. lbs.
