Re: changing my prop
Is the nut setting into a washer that has tabs folded down between knobs on the back of the prop? If so you need to bend the tabs back up first. I use a hook tool to pull the tabs up. The nut that holds the prop in place just has to be snug. I never have to fight to get mine off. <br /><br />I'm not sure if your 90 is diffent, but my 1982 150 and my 1994 200 both have the prop secured the same way. <br /><br />You should be able to hold the prop and loosen the nut with a long wrench or breaker bar. If not just use a block of wood between the blades to wedge it in place against the lower unit. Of course you have to bend up the tabs of the lock washer first. I usually replace the nut and washer when changing a prop, unless I am out on the water trying three or four different props. then I'll use a new washer and nut after I pick the best prop for the boat and motor.
