Jason,
You should be able to brace yourself against the prop to loosen the nut. The prop will definitely need a puller to come off. Buy or borrow a good one. It takes a tremendous amount of pressure to dislodge the prop. The application of a bit of heat to the prop hub may help, but go easy. You don't want to melt the cutlass bearing. Wrapping a water soaked rag around the prop shaft will help with this problem.

I want to remove the propeller from my 35-3. It's a fixed 3-blade (15 R 14), and I'm looking for a folding prop. I have a line on a used one, but want to be sure about shaft fit etc. The question is: how do I brace the shaft to get the nut off? Put it in gear? Put a pipe-wrench to the anode on the shaft? Or just grip the prop well enough to loosen the nut? And when the nut's off, will the prop come off as easily as the one on my outboard, or will I need a puller? Any tips would help. Thanks in advance. Jason Ainslie, "Spirit" 1984 C&C 35 Mk III Port of Bayfield
