This is a good tech tip when installing your propeller.
Add a small amount of grease to to the bottom side of the prop nut and prop shaft threads, this will insure when properly installed with a torque wrench like all of us use...LOL...your prop won't end up at the bottom of the lake.

Dry threads can and will bind when under pressure and the result is a false torque reading which means the nut is not as tight as it should be.
