Re: evinrude 15hp loose propeller

Please be more descriptive than just asking about a loose propeller. Is it loose on the shaft, is it loose from it's hub, is the prop shaft itself loose, etc?

Re: evinrude 15hp loose propeller

You must have a thrust bushing behind the propeller and a thrust washer in front of the propeller.

Go the the BRP Parts Catalog site and look up the motor, then look at the gearcase diagram.

If you run the motor without the thrust bushing, you can severely damage the gearcase.
