Re: Stuck Prop?

[kevinrude]

quote FrankR:

It is being held on by rust and corrosion. Heat will help by expanding the aluminum. One problem with that is the prop is mostly hollow, so you are heating the outer part without effectively getting it hot around the center where is is actually stuck to the shaft. But it’s still your best hope.

Kevin, you mentioned you have never seen this happen before. With all respect, I gotta say you must have lived a protected life (far away from salt water too).

Yeah, the only time we see salt water in Michigan is when grandma gets sick of looking at the leeches in the pickle jar and wants them deceased!
