Inherited a 1998 Wellcraft 175SX with a Volvo 3.0 GS SX I/O.<br /><br />After pulling it out of the water I noticed the nut on the propellor shaft was out to the cotter key.<br /><br />At this point it's finger tight, any suggestions on how to keep the shaft from turning to tighten it ?<br /><br />Is there any risk of overtightening ?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />First Post Searced first, If this has been covered would appreciate a link to the thread

Just wanted to be sure that there was no risk of overtightening first

With a manual, you would have information like this.<br /><br />
