    Take a look please/setup help

    Tried to take some pictures showing how my rudder and strut are set. Also, the pointed prop nut. Should there be another small nut in front, a double nut? How tight should I try to get this prop nut? Tight as I can or? I assume that because of the rotation of the shaft/prop the nut is not easy to come off while running? I am wondering about the angle of the rudder and the height/angle of the strut. Thank you.

    Throw the bullet nut in the trash, unless you want to make prop donations to the bottom of the lake. Use a zuber nut instead.

      I'll have to order some. Until then how about some blue Locktite on the bullet nut? That should hold it?

        Even with semi permanent Loctite you dont wanna use those prop nuts!
        i had one come off, and was lucky my rudder stopped the shaft from coming out

          Ok, thanks. I sure hate worrying about one of my new metal props coming off. Especially after I spent so much time trying to balance and sharpen it.
