1978 stinger 75 prop shaft torque

[hguabmats1]

What is the proper torque for a prop shaft nut on a 1978 Johnson 75hp? I am always afraid of over tightening it.

"install and tighten propeller nut finger tight, then tighten to align next cotter pin hole. The propeller shaft should turn freely( engine in neutral) after propeller is installed.Install cotter pin (use new if necessary), bending ends over nut.
