About 1/8-1/4 between the stuffing tube and strut which is what I think your talking about

That's what proboat reccomends but its not enough for the flex shaft to flex. Should be the size of the flex shaft for space.

hold the motor collet still with a wrench, turn the prop a little and you will see it compress, make sure your gap is enough to handle that compression. I'd go closer to an 8th inch.
