Re: thrust washer

The shaft is probably not tapered. Likely just splined. The thrust spacer fits ahead of the prop.

Re: thrust washer

The shaft is tapered and the thrust bushing sits foreward of the prop against the taper. The thrust bushing's smaller edge should fit within the face of the propeller hub.

Aft of the propeller, you also need a splined spacer, before the nut.

Go to the parts diagram for your model and look at the gearcase diagram: http://epc.brp.com/default.aspx?brands=ej&lang=e

The question was asked in April of 2007. Hopefully, he figured it out by now.
