All of this "warm prop in Sun" and "hit with rubber hammer" are hard to do when you install your props in the water ... ;-)

Hell, we switched out the starboard strut in the water 2 months ago - no problem! 5300 is amazing stuff - hardens with moisture (about 1 hour under water).

Looks like prop installation procedures are like opinions and buttholes....everybody has one and they are all different :wink:
