What should the nut at the end of the prop be torqued at on my 1995 130HP Johnson OB?

I can't wait till my service manual comes in so I can stop asking these noob questions. Thanks in advance for the torque specs. :)

If there is one, I don't know it. Normally you just tighten until snug, and then back it off until you can line up the hole for the cotter pin. Don't forget to grease the prop shaft, thrust washer, and other hardware so it's doesn't sieze later.

If there is a brass spacer behind the nut it's 70 ft/lbs. If a nylon spacer it's 12 ft/lbs.
