Re: prop

If your sure it's just spinning and the prop shaft is not, just get the prop rehubed. It's spun. Most prop shops will rehub props. Cheaper than a new prop.

Re: prop

Are you sure you didn't just shear the pin?

Re: prop

You have to pull the prop off. The shear pin or drive pin fits thru a hole in the prop shaft and a slot in the hub of the prop fits over the pin. If the pin is sheared or broke, the prop won't turn with the shaft.

Re: prop

If you have a dealer near you, just head over there and tell him you need a few shear pins for your motor. There are different sizes, so make sure you get the correct ones. Always carry extra ones and the tools you will need to replace it on the water. It happens now and then. If nothing else, iboats has them too...

Re: prop

You just need to find a dealer and get a new drive pin or two and replace it.

You can get the part number by going to the BRP Parts Manual for your motor and looking at the gearcase diagram.

Oh yeah, if a black bar appears, click "Remove this frame" so the link will work.

Re: prop

yep quarter inche by 1 7 16thsof a inch. can i machine one ddo U have to use washers as well thewre wasnt any on it?

Re: prop

No washers, just a straight cylinder. I think they're 304 stainless, could be 316 also never looked too far into it.

Re: prop

The part is designed to protect the gears. Get the part from a dealer or it will be too strong and you will waste your prop or ruin your gears.

Re: prop

I agree. The pin is designed to fail first before any of the more expensive pieces get damaged. They're cheap and readily available.

Re: prop

I duct tape an extra sheer pin and kotter pin to the inside of the engine cover. It's been a real life-saver more than once.

Re: prop

I don't know about your motor.

But, I recall, several of the smaller motors I've had.

Had a little rubber holder inside the cowling for a few extra shear pins.

When I was a kid, and not as carefull, as I could have been.

They sure saved alot of ROWING !! LOL.
