Question

How do I install a new propella on a outboard engine on a boat?

Answer 1

Another thing... use a block of wood between a propeller blade and the cavitation plate to keep the prop from turning while you take the nut off. Some have a locking washer that has 3 tabs that have to be bent  before you can turn the nut.

Answer 2

In addition to what the first poster said some small units have a threaded cap that holds a straight pin in place.  The cap will have two flat sides for turning with a wrench.  Remove the cap and and pin, then slide the prop off.  The cotter pin and nut style that was described earlier has a torque value you should be aware of when you put it back together.

Answer 3

take any caps of the center of the prop then remove the split pin in the center of the nut  followed by the nut  .

then the prop should pull strait off
