Sure you even need the puller? Just heat it, slides right off...

I'm not that great with that kind of stuff, and the puller looks easier.

The puller really is not a puller. It is more something to put pressure all the way around the prop and for you to hit.

Yeah, that's a never ending problem for me. I just disabled it but email works great and doesn't have a message limit!

I broke down and bought one and have used it at least 5-6 times already. You can make your own cheaply with some C clamps. I think somebody on here either used them or used a pulley puller or something slightly modified.

I made one, it isn't pretty but it gets the job done. I use it all the time because I will switch props depending on what we are going to do. I have it down to about a 3 minute job.

It consists of an old c-clamp that I hacked the end off of, then I took a bearing collar and cut 1-1/8" out of it and welded the two together. Like I said it is pretty getto but I wasn't going to wait for a puller to get the new prop on.

This is my first year with a V-drive. I have a 2011 Outback V, my previous boats have been outboards. Can you please explain why a prop puller is neccessary? My lake (Powers Lake, WI) is really low this year and I hit the rock bar yesterday despite being well outside the bouys. (could be the 750 pounds of ballast in my port tank for wakesurfing!) My prop has a few pretty big dings. Boat seemed to run OK afterwards, but I am worried about performance for slalom skiing, so have decided to replace the prop. Looks to me like a big monkey wrench should do the job. Does the puller keep the shaft from being bent?

prop is pressure fitted onto a tapered shaft, so it gets really tight. You need something to basically push or pull it off the shaft after you loosen the nut.
