I am having the stock prop fixed this week but want to get on the water this holiday weekend.
I have a brand new, SMC 270 short hub alum. 3 blade prop I bought as a spare years ago.
Problem is when I fit it on the outdrive there is a slight space between the prop and the zinc ring, like the recessed back part of the prop hub isn't quite deep enough to fit snug up against the ring. The setup includes the typical, cone/spacer/prop/shorter line cutter ring.
Everything tightens down and it spins fine except for this extra space compared to the stock prop.
Is it ok to run it like this?
Thanks.
Joe
