This doesn't really need to be in the diesel section as I'm pretty sure it applies to all inboard props. I had both props removed, checked, balanced and reinstalled at the beginning of last season. When the boat was hauled at the end of this past season I had a small ding in one of my props so I had the prop shop come and inspect it and make a recommendation. When they came to the boat they suggested it be sent out to be cleaned up. They also said that the prop nuts, as found, were installed in the wrong order. They didn't comment when I reminded them that they did the props last spring. I looked at a new Sea Ray and its prop nuts are installed thinner nut closer to the prop then thicker nut (please no nut jokes). Mine are opposite that. Which order is correct and if you know, why? Lastly, when sending one prop out, even for minor work, should both go out? As always, thanks for the help.
