    2004 SX sterndrive new alum prop - slight rub on gearcase housing

    Re: 2004 SX sterndrive new alum prop - slight rub on gearcase housing Should not rub. There is a thrust washer that goes on the prop shaft first. Then the prop. Check your old prop, it may be attached/corroded/greased to the back of the old prop.
