[Skid-joe]

Hi all,
I am asking a similar question for my 9.9 merc outboard in the appropriate section,
but I also need the propeller nut torque for the 3.0/130 HP mercruiser 1988?

Thamks in advance .........joe

Good and snug. I guess they publish one, but it never torq's-up where the locking tabs align anyhow.

Tighten to 55# & then continue to tighten until three tabs line up on the washer.....
At least two threads should be showing on the prop shaft.....​

if the threads aren't showing, is that bad?
