Losing prop and locknut, need a new locknut.....

[LarrysDrifter]

When I bought my UL-1,it had silicone tubing between the prop and prop nut.Whats the deal with that?I never could figure out the reason behind that.
Also,Diegoboy,in your pics above,you show no nut,just tubing.Is tubing alone used INSTEAD of a nut,or used together?

John,
I replace the piece of fuel tube about every 3 outings (1 outing may consist of 4 runs)

I surely wouldn't use the same piece till it fails...

Wish I had followed that advice back when I used that method. Guess I got paranoid with age!

I use only the tube. I put on a nut after the tube to give others the "warm and fuzzy" if I sell the boat

any reasons why not to use a lock tite on the prop nut like 242, its a mild lock tite?
