So people pay $50 for a prop nut that spins off the prop?

Does everyone drill a hole in these in case your pin breaks so you can insert a screw driver and remove it still? I didnt until it happened to me and I had to cut the prop apart to get to the shaft.

That will work...until you WANT it to come loose! Blue Loctite would be a better choice

That's what I did on mine. Can still get it off but it takes some tools and a little time.

yes

they also get too tight to remove. I had to use a pipe wrench to remove mine the last time. I put anti seize on it now on the o ring and threads.

Its only for my spare spare prop in my boat. I run a 3 blade kipawa on my ultrex.

I was fishing a little local tournament and after weigh in I was getting my boat ready to leave and noticed the door on my depth finder open. I look and my map card is gone. Really??? Someone stole my map card during weigh in..
After that, I make sure everything that can be locked up is locked up...

I'm sorry, but what's the point of this $50 prop nut that supposedly comes loose all the time....?

To quite down your trolling motor, but it was on at the beginning of the weigh in unless it fell off on the drive home. But I always make sure itโ€™s tight before and after every trip.

To me it wasnt about the noise of the trolling motor. I bought it because we have got line in our trolling motor while in the water and it is a pain to get the tools out to remove the original prop nut. I captained some high school kids a few weeks ago that got their line in the trolling motor, it took seconds to get the prop off , line out, prop on and back to fishing.

Mine gets so tight that I have to use a large set of pliers to get it off. It warped the plastic inside the prop from twisting. Anyone else ever experience that?

Used one that I won at the Skeeters Owners tournament. It got way too tight and pushed the prop so that it scratched the hub behind the prop (only hand tightened). Not sure it was related by my armature failed shortly after removing the G Force.

Looks cool, doubt it makes much of a difference, if any.
