How to Change a Boat Prop In 10 Minutes

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2021
- In this video, I install a stainless steel boat prop onto my Mercruiser Alpha One Gen 2 Outdrive. The process is very simple and easy to do. You need very few tools. Its a good idea to remove your prop if the boat will be stored outside as people sometimes like to steal props. The removal procedure is the install procedure in reverse.

Useful vid. Greetings from Poland.

@@605BOLT I've got sea ray seville cuddy cabin from 1986 with 4.3l mercruiser with alpha one gen 1. A lot of work till now to restore this classic boat.
Oh for sure! Sounds very cool. Old boats are a ton of work but they don't make em like they used to.
Thanks
No problem Winston. Glad it helped!
Any worries about greasing the nut? I mean, could it cause nut to come off during operations. Thanks
Normally yes, but if the lock ring is in place then it's good to go. Can't come off. I just didn't want the nut to get galled up. Not necessary to do but I didn't want problems in the future. The threads were a little bit gross so I wanted everything to install smoothly.
What type and brand grease do you use? Do you recommend greasing once a year?
It's not necessary at all. Just regular old marine grease is what to used. I just didn't want it to be seized up for me next time I went to take it off. I would say install the prop and forget about it until you need to take it off again for whatever reason. Otherwise, it's not really a maintenance item.
What type of lubricant are you using in this vid?
It was just a blue grease. Can go without if you would like. I just don't like struggling taking things apart that I put together.
How did you take the lock off?
@@soccer1082 just bend back the little tabs on the lock ring.
@@605BOLTI got that part but not the “lock washer” is what you said on the video
@@soccer1082 once the lock ring tabs are bent back you just undo the nut and everything comes off of there.
@@605BOLT mine didn’t unfortunately, it’s super stuck. I will probably just have to order a new one
@@soccer1082 did you use a piece of wood to hold the prop? If so, get a cheater bar for your ratchet or a big breaker bar.
Shit I forgot the washer
Oops! Oh well. It happens.
