hookset 18 Report post Posted June 24, 2014 I took the prop off my motor last year, had to have the bottom end rebuilt. $$$ouch$$$. Anyway, I don't remember how tight the crown nut was. When I put the prop back on it seems the crown nut only tightens so much, then the cotter pin goes through. It looks like I can get a 1/4" turn. I have it hand tight right now.
