Re: New prop doesn't fit - too long....is this the wrong prop?
Hi,<br />If you got a 20degree rake prop the trim tab will be in the way. You did not say what prop you bought but, if it is a lazerII you probably just need a different thrust hub for the prop. I cut my trim tab off yrs ago and use a tourqe tab rivited to my skeg works much better than the High Preformance trim tab Merc has to solve the hitting problem. Merc also sells galvanic corrosion plate that is flat to replace the trim tab but, you made your own so good for you. Just put on a tourqe tab, get the right thrust hub and go for a ride.
