thats a good idea but i would hate to mess up the shaft accidently cutting into it. i am sure it would cost more to replace the shaft rather the prop

i will definetley replace it how do you feel about me cutting the prop off in order to get a good grip in the shaft to remove the bolt. as a last resort effort to repair it.

yes there is a slot for a screw driver and i have tried that the entire shaft spins. i am going to have a friend try and give me a hand i have had the motor for a year and had no problem with it the guy i bought it off of must have put this nut on it. if i cant get the nut off i was thinking...

and before i catch an ear full the tub of water under it is beacause it runs fine out of the water and i felt like i was going crazy so i had to test it in the water and was not going to carry the motor and btry down to the lake.

this is what i have that im dealing with.

Okay I been messing with this thing trying to get the prop off I can not get the nut loose is there a special tool I need I have tried everything and have looked online for an answer and can not find anything that will work please help.

Thanks that is what I figured it was just have never had it happen. Going out to tackle it now.

Hello all well I have another question once again. I went out on the lake today with my son to do some fishing and hit a log with my trolling motor it happens but this time the boat didn't keep going. When the prop is out of the water it spins fine when its in the water it spins very slow or not...

wow thats a lot of informationthanks to the both of you for sharing i love this site for all the knowledge that is at hand it really make me comfortable to takle new projects knowing i have a place to turn to.

Just for going out on the lake fishing with my son I may use it on occasion to get to a blind but I dont plan on hunting out of it. I really just got this canoe as a project to learn how to do some fiberglass work.

Thanks for the info this is all new to me working with boats I have always had some sort of boat but never worked on any. The oak I have is white oak and is super heavy. I guess I'll just go with the yellow pine. Well now I have some sort of a game plan for going about replacing the crap stuff...

Thanks that is how the seats are currentley in the boat but the one support needs to be refiberglassed on. I didn't think yellow pine would be appropriate to use on the canoe but knowing that makes it even better I just got in two drafts of number 1 yellow pine 1x10 so i will just make...

thanks for the info i was thinking just cut it off and grind it smooth but wasnt sure. as far as the gunwales they are just pvc pipe slit open and slipped over the hulll and siliconed on. I am planning on replacing the bow and stern caps with cedar as well as the gunwales.could you do me a fovor...

Well I freed up room in my garage finally finishing the semi v project. So I jumped right into the fiberglass canoe I found over the winter. After recruiting my wife to help get it on my work dolley. And getting it in the garage I began to look it over and take off the bits and pieces. The canoe...
