    Volvo Pents SX thrust washer?

    I am putting a Michigan Wheel Vortex prop on my boat. It is a three piece prop and hub assy. Do I not use the thrust washer and the spacer washer that goes behind the nut? I assume this because neither one will fit with the prop. Also, when the prop is on the shaft, if I put the nut on then...
