[QUOTE="BoatDawg4120, post: 367602, member: 9832"] Well, The prop is set to arrive on Tuesday. I went ahead and pulled the spun prop of and determined it is SS not Aluminum as I had previously thought. Could tell immediately by the weight of it. So I plan to buy a replacement hub and use the tools available to me here at the shop I work at and press the new hub myself. Ill be using the same technique we use to set our steering knuckle kingpins here on the trucks which is to throw the hub in the freezer for a few days to a week then press it in. I will still be using my Aluminum prop that I ordered for the time being though. But it never hurts to keep a spare on board incase such a failure would happen again. I added a little shelf under the console and mounted my radio pod and wired it in. Radio is fully removable so I wont have to worry about theft or damage from weather. Where it sits and the pod I have for it will protect it for the most part but here in FL we get those afternoon Hurricane like storms whipping up 75-80 winds daily lol. The lakes have come up the shore about 20ft in the last 3 days due to all the rain we have had and every canal i pass over driving daily shows signs of running water pushing out into the lake. It really sucks to know my boat is water ready and cant use it for another 4-5 days. I havent taken any recent photos yet. There are still tools and wire ties and connectors all over the floor near the console because I am still adding in a few things here and there since it is still down.
