Re: yamaha four stroke 115 prop

You should be able to crank down as much as you can and not bind. Is the thrust washer on between the prop and gearcase?

After taking a closer look i found the thrust washer on the old prop (oops) probably the reason it was binding (duh) thanks for the advice everything fits great now.
