I have an ever so slight play when I wiggle the prop side to side. Is there a tolerance for this? Is it OK to use like this?

What should I do check etc?

Can someone link me to the thread with the service manuals?

Thanks!!

Splines worn? Is the nut tightened to spec?

Re: Propeller Play.

Remove the prop and check the shaft.
Then with a dial indicator determine what "Very slight" is.
