    After I run them is seems like the nut gets slightly loose and the prop (if you grab the blades) you can get a slight rock when pushing forward and back.

    I know for my Gale I can’t get the prop tight enough to take the slop out and I purchased a new cushion.

    My 1954 Scott Atwater 16hp seems to have the same problem. I tightened that nut and it is now hand tight and has a slight rock when you push and pull the blades.

    Is this normal?
