SO not to take away from others thread about prop issues,, I would like to remove my prop tube hose, and need direction with this en-devour as well. I cleaned up the prop and attaching Nut, and have yet to try to remove it,, NOT SURE if it is reverse thread or not,, and letting it soak with some CLR to remove the build up around the threads.
Is it better to remove the prop and bring it out thru the cabin,, OR, remove the coupler and the "packing nut" and take it out thru the outside? Not sure what the packing nut aperture's proper name is... the Cutless Bearing isn't loose,, but looks original,, and a little dry rotted. SAME with the Hose that attaches to the "Packing Nut" and the Prop Tube,,, doesn't look terrible,, but Original, and dry rot looking,, the Hose clamps where almost rusted off,, just broke off,, nothing left to unscrew. But welded on by time.
Lastly, ,can you guys decipher the Numbers on the Prop,, do they have meaning,, or just casting numbers?
As Always,, Much appreciative of all Info,, Help.
