New Mercruiser prop installation for 470

[spoticus02]

Must be simple, but I'm installing a new Mercruiser Vortex prop on an older 470, new hub kit, etc. Simple, except they mention that the nut should be tightened to manufacturer's torque specs. No idea on where to find that info. I can't imagine more than 30-40 lbs, but I want to be sure not to pinch anything or have it too loose. Thanks!

I don't have the spec but I would think 25 to 30 lbs. ft. would suffice.

Bravo,especially dual prop is another story.

Thanks! Sounds about right. Single prop. Gonna go give it a squeeze, then float my boat! Thanks again!
