Stainless steel propeller

Picked up a bargain at the local car boot last week !  I bought a trophy plus 4 blade 19 pitch stainless steel propeller to replace my tired aluminium 3 blade prop. 

Trophy plus


The first task was to get the old aluminium propeller off of the spline .  I had an old flywheel puller that I used on motorbike engines but the arms were too short so I drilled some holes in the prop and then fitted the puller.

 With the old prop removed I was able to inspect the spline which turned out to be in very good condition.

This photo shows the Trophy plus prop and the flo-torque 11 hub kit that I bought from Ebay .
