Prop wont come off. I even broke a prop puller!
I hit a log about 1 month ago with my OJ 14.25x14 prop. I did not have a spare so my buddy lent me his spare OJ 13.7x17.
I used a hammer to remove my prop but I did not want to risk any damage to my friends prop so I decided to use his OJ Prop Puller. The prop is on there so tight, I actually snapped the tip right off the puller that goes on the end of the shaft!!!
I ordered a new OJ Prop Puller from skidim and I also ordered an OJ Prop Knocker. http://www.skidim.com/prodinfo.asp?number=OJ1146
Economical option to the traditional prop puller. Simply screw it on in place of your prop nut and give it a knock with a hammer.
I was not sure why I would want to hammer the prop onto the shaft but apparently this could work so I am willing to try anything.
I am attempting all of this under water. Pulling my boat out to swap the prop is not really an option to me right now. I also don't think it would help me any because its so easy to work on the boat under water. :)
Any tips on removing this prop would be greatly appreciated! :D
