The prop on my 1.2hp Aquabug fits loosely and rattles at low speeds. The cotter pin keeps it from coming off but it still rattles. I noticed that different size shims are offered on the Sears parts list. They vary in thickness ranging from 0.1 to .01 thick. Are these prop shims made for the purpose of tightening up the prop on the shaft? Any help in this area will be appreciated.
