Very helpful video! Thanks for making it. We're getting ready to pull the propeller (for the 1st time) on our almost 50 year old cruising sailboat. The ultimate goal is to replace the cutless bearing. Hope to find a good "how-to" video for that too 😁

You had it much easier than mine... although I have a bigger prop... I had so much tension on the prop puller before I heated it up with a propane torch, when it got hot it shot off the shaft and made a noise like a shot gun... glad I was on the side of the prop!

Thanks for the nice comment on Sailing Aquarius. Nice Video! Good luck with the Echo Pilot!

Far more likely than a prop nick or two is a sloppy skeg bearing. Wobble the shaft up and down will tell you.

You made that look way to easy!

Your prop nuts are on backwards. Thin nut first, large nut second. Torque the thin nut to about 50% torque value than that of the large nut.

I just saw the end of the video. You may have to pull the prop shaft, and true it up. And, after 12 years it might be time to change all the seals in the prop shaft. Are you getting any leaks into the engine room?
