I've diagnosed my boat as having a spun prop, and will have to replace it with the boat still in the marina. My first time pulling a prop off.
I've got one of those plastic wrenches, new nut and lock ring ready to go.
I assume I can clamp a wood block to the plate for loosening the nut. Could probably use a small clamp and a rope on the prop blade just in case that might slip from my hands also.
I have no idea how long its been spun, or how long its been on the boat (its a 97 Bravo II). Its a stainless prop, so I know its been replaced from stock at some point in the boats history.
Is there any trick to pulling the lock ring tabs back? Screwdriver and/or a small pry bar with a hook end? Should the prop just slide right off? Or am I going to have to try to beat it or use a puller?
