I haven't had my boat long and removed the prop for the first time the other day. The motor is a 2005 Mercury 50HP ELPTO. This motor is a 2 stroke and not a Bigfoot. The motor has a Turning Point 3 blade aluminium prop on it that is an H1 1208 with the appropriate rubber slip in hub. Now to my question. When I removed the prop there was no thrust washer and I was surprised. Is there supposed to be one? If anyone on here has one of these motors please let me know. I have not had any problems and everything looks normal. There is no unusual wear or anything. However, if there is supposed to be a thrust washer I want to get one for it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
