[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 511796, member: 27803"] Hey y’all, I took the new Traxxis55 on its 3rd outing this weekend. This time with the power prop they sent me. The motor did great with the power prop. Even took out a little vibration it had before. We stayed in open water out of the grass and mud. The lake had a lot of floating debris from run off after a lot of rain. I just took the prop off the check for fishing line etc. after every trip. It was clean. When I went to put the prop back on the prop shaft felt like it pushed in about 1/8” or so. I hadn’t put the nut on yet so I slid the prop back off and felt it pull back out. After I had the prop back off I was ably to move the prop shaft in and out freely. Correct me if I’m wrong but this means the entire armature is moving in the housing. Any body else have a Minn Kota that has or does this? I tighten the prop nut with a torque wrench to 30 inlbs. Spec says 25 to 35. [/QUOTE]
