This propeller nut looks like home made from brass hex bar! should it serve the purpose to retain the propeller? The brand new cost $24 -$32 from E-bay.
Do you see any potential problem if I keep it instead using OEM part?
I’ve seen that hex nut on another brand, I just can’t remember which one right now – I’m thinkin’ maybe Champions? It’s too cold here and 4 inches of fresh snow, or I’d go into the pole barn and see what brand has them.
It should work OK, but I’d drill a hole in it that lines up with the hole in the prop shaft so you can put a cotterpin through it to insure it doesn’t come loose and fall off. The ones I’ve seen on other motors have holes drilled across each pair of flats.
