Not going into gear.

Re: Not going into gear.

Not really. It did take some work to get it out with pushing it out with a screw driver, buts not super hard nor easy to do so. And it takes a hammer to pound it back in. Like I said, once I put the motor in gear the prop will turn before the gear rod and flywheel will. it spins around the rubber if i hold the prop by hand and it takes some pressure to stop it from spinning. if i turn the fly wheel it spins the prop. though I really dont know if water puts enough pressure on the prop for it to not spin like its not in gear. so i am still at a loss!

so the rubber is a prop hub????!!

re-hubbing sounds alot cheaper then getting a new prop!! cant find any used ones.

and i think I am screwed from getting the lower gear case off as the screws wont come lose!!:-(

Check Ebay - I see several props for 6hp on there. Why do you want to separate the gearcase? First get the prop issue resolved. That may be your only problem. If you later find you need to get into the gearcase, you need an impact screwdriver to remove those skeg bolts. Soak them first in some PB Blaster, then hit them with an impact driver. They'll come right out.

Wow. That rubber looks in good shape although you shouldn't have really gotten to that state so easy! It definitely needs to be re hubbed. Old used props are common. Look around. Check the aomci.org website and maybe put an add out for one. Check the used places as mentioned in the top secret file at the top of this forum.

Thanks everyone!!! I found a place that will rehub it for $35!!!

But where is this top secret file???? i don't see anything of this site called that......

Re: Not going into gear.

I think I would try to secure the hub back into the prop by using some of the houshold panel type adheasive sold to use in caulking guns
