HEY SPARE..... HELP!!!!! and others

Not that familiar with Yamaha
Do they have a thrust washer, if so, is it still attached to the original prop
Are the prop hubs the same depth

reused the original thrust washer. that's the problem. the hubs are two different depths. i believe i found the part. only problem, i see three different part numbers interchanged with three different parts.
45997-00
45997-01
45997-02
i see these 3 numbers with 3 different washers. then i see them swapped on another site, and swapped again on another.
it's not a price issue. i just don't want to have to do this more than once.

Are they different brand props?

there should be a thick brass washer before the nut, look on the old prop, its probably stuck flush and looks like part of the prop, sometimes they are stainless

Yeah, the thrust washer is there. It looks like the prop that was on there was the wrong size. After some research, it looks like there’s a spacer and a flat washer that goes on top of the stack right under the castle nut. Using the prop with the wrong hub depth, they eliminated the original spacer and washer.
So I’m gonna get the parts off eBay and see what it’ll take to fix the prop. I’d love to get a stainless and keep the aluminum as a spare, but the boss doesn’t want to hear about more expense right now.

wasnt talking about the thrust washer, but you seemed to figure it out, see if theres a thick spacer washer on the nut end of the old prop

[spareparts]
