Re: Stus-List Prop won't come off

[Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List]

We pulled the Martec on Persistence last month.  Initially it would not budge.  
Then my go to guy Peter came by with a puller and a lot of experience.

The first thing he said to do was to loosen the nut and back it off.  I believe 
approx. ¼ inch.  This will prevent prop from falling off.  Then we put on the 
puller and tightened with absolutely no results.  Left the puller in place and 
heated the prop hub with propane torch for a while.  After abut ten minutes of 
heating we tapped the hub with a hammer and the prop popped loose.After 
that it was all about not burning our hands

I hope the new Flex-o-Fold is as firmly in place as our Martec was on the shaft!

Subject: Stus-List Prop won't come off

A word of caution when pulling a prop...be careful when it comes free that 
it doesn't simply drop to a surface (asphalt, rocks,etc) that will damage/dent 
a blade on the prop.

Did that with mine the last time it was taken off.when the prop puller 
finally did its job, the prop flew off and landed on asphalt putting a dent or 
nick (maybe 3/16th deep) in the edge of one of the blades.  Had to send it to a 
shop to have the dent repaired.cost $40 plus shipping but it had to be done 
otherwise I might have had a slight vibration because of the dented blade.

I couldn't get the prop to budge on my C 36 project boat, but I was pulling 
the prop shaft anyway in order to change the stuffing box and replace the 
cutlass bearing, so I took the shaft with the prop still attached to a 
propeller shop and had them pull it and check the shaft for straightness. I got 
the parts back separated  with new jam nuts and a claim that they had 
straightened a 10 thousandths wow in the shaft, for US $75. - Canaveral Prop,
