HELP! This nut on outboard shaft is "loose" -- it isn't tightened down all the way, has maybe a 1/8" gap. Is this the way it's supposed to be? There's one on each side of the shaft and they're both like this. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-74083-140099-nut.jpg)
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

Whoever was last to change your water pump left it loose. Tighten them up as they hold your lower unit on.
