Re: johnson prop

You need to place a block of wood between the prop and the outboard's lower unit to stop the prop from spinning. Once the wood is placed to stop the prop from spinning you will be able to tighten it to the proper specs. Be careful and make sure the wood doesn't slip out while you're trying to torque the nut.
