Got that propeller installed correctly for a 200 MPH blast on water?

200 MPH boat racer Andy Reynolds gives an explanation on how he installs his racing propellers to insure the prop shaft key and key way are not causing a binding situation that could cause your prop to break at the hub resulting in expensive damages to prop shaft, propeller, boat or even causing a violent crash. ( These are just Andy's thoughts and should not be your instructions for installing your propeller. You should always use your best judgement.)

Do you have an opinion on lapping the propeller to the shaft? If you like lapping, do you have a preferred method. My application is a basic V-Drive flatbottom lake boat. I have had trouble removing the propeller in the past. I am enjoying your videos, thank you for posting them.

They are hard to get off at times for sure. I have lapped them before and I use valve lapping compound and I just rotate the prop back and forth without the key in the keyway until I see the prop is making contact with the shaft. When removing the make sure you leave the nut onto the shaft so the prop don't pop off and hit you once it breaks loose. Heat it up some with propane bottle on the prop hub...

200 pounds or 200mph get your titles right bro.
