Re: Advice on the condition of these gears

quote Chinewalker:

I’ve seen that happen when someone runs a prop with a spun hub. The outer hub gets pushed forward and rubs against the housing, taking material with it. Won’t really affect anything – your new unit will work fine. If it really bothers you, stick the innards from your new unit into your old housing.

I suppose I’ll try running it before making any decisions, my concern is the gap might make a good spot for weeds to get snagged.

With my original prop on there are less threads for the prop nut than with the prop that came with the unit. This is okay?
