I have a 2011 200SD with the 5.0 alpha one drive. I use one of two props -- the default three-blade for normal use and a High5 for altitude.
I just switched the props and have found that when I spin the prop by hand it does not spin freely. There is a small but noticeable rub and the prop will move a millimeter or so on the shaft. I've taken the prop off and put it back on twice with identical results.
Is this just an issue of needing to apply more elbow grease to the nut so that the prop will fit more snugly. Or is there something else going on?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
