3HP Minn Kota trolling motor prop removal help

[ben2go]

I have a 3HP Minn Kota trolling motor and I can not get the prop off.I removed the center nut and tried to pull it off.Even tried unscrewing it with no luck.I have it setting over night coated in penatrating oil.I tried tapping the prop shaft and that didn't help either.I need to get this thing apart and fixed so I can use it.Any help would be great.Thanks in advanced.

I used lots of penatrating oil and still couldn't get it off.I ended up breaking the plastic prop off the shaft.When you put a prop back on use antisieze or marine grease to keep the prop from sticking again.

I found that the commutator in my motor had slid back on the shaft locking the motor up and ripping the windings off the stator.So I tossed the entire motor.
