Andy I have a 2006 f75 yamaha and am using the yamaha aluminum props. My question is does the hub tend to slip on these? I have bought two of these from you and after running it the nut is loose and if I keep retorqueing I have to put washers on so my cotter key aligns with the castle nut slots. The first time this happened I thought I might have hit something but on the new prop it has no marks at all on the prop. It seems like the rubber in the hub is not holding. On the first prop that did this I did hit a submerged tree branch because one fin had a small bend to it and on this one the spacer was far enough in that it was stuck in prop. Hope you can help me out on this never had a problem like this before.

Are you squeezing that spacer behind the nut?

No that was the first thing I checked. I've never had a prop do this before wierd. I have the old one in the garage maybe I can see what moved on that one and let you know.
