Thrusy washer?

[ollyit]

I'm swapping back my to my standard oem 17 yamaha propellor, from mercury 15"- I did the actual swap last night, I seem to remember I could be wrong, does it require a thrust washer, before the prop goes on the spline or not please? its a 2stroke yamaha 60 longshaft, thanks guys, will I do any damage running without a thrust washer before the prop, as I'm geared up for a quick spin tonight to test out my steering,

it has a thrust washer after the prop, then a smaller washer, castle nut, then new split pin

looking online, the prop nut kit only consists of 4 parts,

thanks guys

No washers ahead of my prop either - I think mine's the same down there as the 60?

Push it forwards hard & turn it - listen out for horrible grinding noises!

On my 90 there are spacers/washers before and after the prop. The first (splined) spacer (thrust washer) goes behind the prop and has a rebate on the rear surface, then the prop, then splined (flat) spacer, then flat washer, then nut.

This setup is as shown in my workshop manual for all 2-stroke models 6-250hp

The thrust washer is the brass (usually) washer in front of the prop (with respect to the boat, that is; the nut will eventually be at the back); it is a machined part that butts against the taper on the prop shaft. Following that is the prop, then the spacer washer (the thick silver thingie); sometimes a flat washer, then the nut and pin.

I do not know for certain if your motor used used a thrust washer, but I do know that a prop nut kit does not contain a thrust washer, even if one is needed (for example my F115.)

Yes - that's exactly it. Thanks for better description.
