- Propeller change or annual servicing for changing your prop on a Flo Torq II system for command thrust or larger gearcase outboards. Uses a 15 pitch on a Bigfoot / Command Thrust gearcase. Mercury 2-4-C is used as the lubricant. Torque setting as per Mercury manual for this outboard is 55lbf.

My Mercury manual for my 2016 115 4 stroke says not to get the grease on the threads of the shaft... And it says to coat the entire shaft (other than threads).
All I can say is WOW
Crazy, no? Dirt on the prop and he messed up the lock washer and the nylok nut looked like *hit!
thanks for the video. I wanted to see the process specifically the tab folding finishing process as i'm new to the mercury outboard tab washer.

Grease Happy. Just the spline please.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have alway said you never can have too much grease on your shaft.
when doing this procedure, DONT do as you see in the video where NO care is taken in getting the nut to seat properly into the lock washer assembly... a trained eye can see the corners of the nut was snugged down on to the outer part of the washer, rather than seating down INTO it properly.... he didnt notice this and the washer was damaged when he put the torque wrench to it and turned it several times until it deformed the washer and slipped down into the recess where it should have been as the nut was being turned gently onto the shaft, after it slipped into its proper place, he then switched back to the ratchet to continue taking up the newly found slack... if the nut is seated properly to start with, the torque wrench will will tighten it to spec within a quarter of a turn.
and... rather than letting the grease set on the surface to be scraped off when the splined hub is installed, smear it around so that it gets down into the splines.... why is this important? because saltwater gets in where there is no grease, and then salt deposits build up and eventually makes removing the prop a very difficult task.. The proper grease AND properly applied will displace any space in the assembly and not allow water in...
thanks greg. much appreciated!
Ive seen several videos, some were mercury techs. Some bend the washer tabs back before taking off the nut, and some don't?? Which is the correct way to remove ?
I am no expert by an means, but your idea of lubrication is totally excessive, wasteful and the way you put a blob of grease at the locking ring and base of the nut area was foolish.
sounds like you know how to do it better. excellent! Please post a video of your technique and link it.
I agree, this guy put enough grease on the shaft for 25 other shafts, maybe more ! What a NUT !
Lol
Your right man never use grease on a prop it will cause slip
3:48 - " add a little 2-4-C"...
needs more grease
Что он делает?
some people are always looking to find fault in someone. I'm surprised you took the time to print your post on such a silly matter.
too much or not enough lube.
15 bitch!!!lmfas.😂😂😂😂
You have stock in grease. 😂
This is the way not to do it...
Thank you for verifing my thoughts;do you think he could replace the prop nut also.Clumbbsy operation all the way around.
I give you an A for effort. But please take your boat to a real mechanic? Before you heart your self.😂😂😂✌🏽
Don't quit yer day job.
This video makes me cringe.
