I greased my prop yesterday and upon looking at it closely it does not appear to have a boot within. For years, all my props of other brands have had rubber bushing like centers that break loose if you hit something. They will allow you to idle back in even after spinning the boot as it is called. I don't see one on my 60hp 4 stroke 2005's SS prop?
I can't remember. Do props with boots have a backwards thread nut to attach them to the shaft? This prop has a regular thread direction..righty tighty and the usual cotter pin you slip through the slots and shaft. If I hit something would that not unscrew the nut? That's why I'm wondering if they have returned to the old shear pin method of saving your lower unit.
