Paul J Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) Guys, i have a Hustler prop and a masterguard hub kit-(attached fig 5) what is happening is the prop nut and washer are digging themselves into the prop spacer. the prop spacer pegs that hold the washer have been shaved off and the nut is trying to work it self towards the prop digging itself a hole as it goes. anyone know why this is happening? and what damage it's causing? I got it from Prop revs in Poole- but they are never open on weekends. Cheers Paul J Edited May 29, 2006 by Paul J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam F Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 PJ, Hard to tell without seeing it....it sounds like the spacer is not on or working correctly, obviously the prop is grabbing the nut when it rotated and it's thread is acting with a cutting action. I would take it back to PR next week....in the meantime their is a spare prop same as yours here if you want to borrow it. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
