The Murphy Builders Site

Hi all



I guess I have a problem with my prop and prop flange



Prop says on it to use an6 (3/8) bolts



But when engine was built it had an7 (7/16) lugs installed



So questions is can I change out the lugs for smaller size or does a shop
have to do it, assume they are a press fit, is there special tool to use
besides a sledge hammer



Perhaps wayne you can tell me size for your prop lugs since we have same
engine, except for the 160 hp in mine



Cheers

Yep I know wayne
But I did not have the prop then, I just got it and got what I think is
good
price for it, especially when I see some going for 1200-2000

Cheers

Call the guys that built if for you and see if Greg will trade you a set
of
3/8 bushings...and tell you how to change them..... since they cost $40 or
so EACH ! Why I wish you hadn't gone direct as these things get taken care
of when I play middle man.... ))
