Re: New prop... Installing question The prop is thread on and every time you hit something it gets tighter so I put the prop on and tighten the nut snug and run for a while and the check the nut on the back and see if it needs to be tightening again. I do not know if there is a spec for how many ft/lbs.

Re: New prop... Installing question GT uses a hex shape for their props they are not threaded on.
I don't know maybe you can call GT or wait for a response on here

Re: New prop... Installing question I just put it on and snug it down and I have never had an issue,its got a lock nut on it so there is no need to torque the piss out of it.

Re: New prop... Installing question I know they aren't threaded my question was about the nut. I think I got it answered... I'll call Hoyt if I have any questions but was making sure if I snug it up I'll be good...

Re: New prop... Installing question Tighten it up and hit the wrench a couple times with a hammer and your good to go.
