Vessel: 1997 Sea Ray Sundancer 330
Engine: 1997 7.4L Mercury Bluewater MPI
Transmissions: Hurth V Drives
Issue: Through out the season I inspected my props underwater and notice that my Starboard prop nuts always work themselves loose. Since I was working underwater during the summer I could only tighten so much. I have the cotter pin in place so they will not work themselves out too far and this problem does not seem to effect the prop position.
Is this common because of the clockwise rotation of the Starboard prop? Should I be tightening with a different method? Currently I am just stabilizing the prop and applying as much pressure on the nuts as possible with a wrench.
