How to Change A Prop On A 4 stroke Mercury 60 hp outboard Motor|Propeller replacement

[@CDavid1951]

Thanks for your video this will save me a few dollars replacing my prop.

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Awesome!! Happy to help my friend. Thanks for watching!

[@brianneeley9455]

Thank you brother. Video was helpful. Haven't changed a prop in 20+ years.👍

[@hookjawhunters9419]

You are welcome! Glad it was a help . Thank you for leaving a comment! Have a great weekend and happy boating!

[@SeeMooreVids]

Nice job. We’ll be doing replacement on a 2003 merc 60 this weekend. Thx

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Awesome ! Gotta get them ready for summer. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍. Happy boating!

[@Perez_Pesca_pfc]

Good video. Glad you could fix your motor

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Me too! Back on the water 💪 Thanks for watching!

[@ThatShinerGuy]

That damage to your old prop was wicked. Looked like you got a really good deal on the replacement. I keep a spare prop in my boat, hope I never need it!

[@hookjawhunters9419]

I've never seen one break like that..funny part is that it wasnt a rock or loch ness monster that broke it...it was a little piece of drift wood ...I was shocked..I've chipped and bent a few but never broke.. yea I almost spent $155 for a new one at my boat shop then my buddy found that one on Amazon. Figured worst case I could return it..thanks for watching!

[@jaygillett5630]

Decided against the stainless steel? Got mine back a couple weeks ago but have only had it out once. Huge difference! Glad you are up and running again

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Cant afford the stainless right now! Just wanted to have her going again . I think I will do the 4 blade stainless down the road.. glad you got yours back! I know you hated the aluminum! Hope you get to use it again soon

[@kumbofishingusa]

That is really you know how to fix by yourself and save you a lot of money.

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Yes sir!! Only way I can keep fishing! Thanks for watching

[@colterino]

What happened to the inner spine. I didn’t see you put that on. 🤷🏼‍♂️🧐 oooh. You put a note that you had already slide it on. Also, I don’t know what size to get. There’s lots of different propellers. I do have a Merck 60 4stroke but mine is older. Thanks… Good job.

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Howdy ! Thanks for watching sorry for late reply. The one I use is 10.75" diameter with 12 pitch. prop number is QA2072X Seems to be a good all around propeller. Nice hole shot . Top speed is ok too. Happy boating !

[@teamcoff]

Interesting video man, by boat knowledge is slim to none, didn't think it would be that easy. Liked the how-to...I definitely won't have this problem for a long time but good to know haha. One day i'll own a boat!

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Thanks for watching eventhough it doesn't apply yet(you future boat owner!). I appreciate you and your support! figured I would show that you can do it at home easily. I know people get intimidated and spend $120-200 at a shop for something like this..I will probably make these as things break..haha..hopefully someone finds it and benefits! Thanks again brother!

[@marks6072]

I assume the plastic hub cannot be moved from the old prop (if your new prop didn't come with 1)??

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Sorry for delay. I believe you can pop hubs in and out if they are still good . I have not done one myself so I will do a little more research. Thank you!

[@JohnAmes]

Thanks buddy for the great video my friend 👍

Thanks john! Hopefully it will help some poor soul! 👊

I have the same size motor and year what size prop did you need

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Howdy buddy. The prop is a 10.75" diameter with a 12 pitch..prop number is QA2072X . Check Amazon used.good deals sometimes 👍. Hope this helps!

[@stevennunez29]

HOOK JAW HUNTERS thanks brother

[@hookjawhunters9419]

@@stevennunez29 anytime! Hope you get back on the water soon!

[@moseskendrick3965]

i guess I'm kind of off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?

[@thewildbill86]

What size prop is that? Have you ever put a stainless prop on that motor to see the benefits? I have the same motor, so I'm curious

[@hookjawhunters9419]

The prop is a black diamond 10.8x 12 pitch. I've never done stainless. I hear they are great on higher horsepower motors so I'm sure if you got some extra cash it might be great. If you get one let me know how it performs!

[@superdave579]

This video is pretty old but hoping I can still get some feedback...if I don't have a torque wrench should I wait for one or just use my best judgement with a socket set? I don't want to have to buy a freakin expensive wrench just to change my prop if I don't have to..

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Hey Super Dave! I'm pretty sure you could get away with best judgment. Or I know around here the parts store will loan out or rent a tool. No question returns. I just did it with a fan clutch wrench. Hope you get it all figured out !

[@superdave579]

Thanks buddy...tight lines!

Sweet video man! I subbed you keep the content coming!

Thanks dude! Welcome to HJH! I will. Swing by your channel and check it out too 👊

[@TheBoneruner]

What kind of hydrofoil are you running? Thanks

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Using the Trol-A-Matic from bass pro shops . Think it's about $100. Great trolling plate and then automatically pops up when you accelerate.

[@TheBoneruner]

@@hookjawhunters9419 does it help with getting the boat on plane or handling or is it purely for trolling ? Thanks.

[@hookjawhunters9419]

I'd say primarily trolling. To be honest I only ran the boat 1 time without it so I can't say if it planed out faster or not. I'm sure it doesn't hurt performance though. Ive had the SE SPORT hydrofoil on a smaller motor before and saw zero difference. I'm not convinced they are worth the $.

[@karls4451]

Do they all come with a rubber washer my new one didn’t?

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Hey Karl! Are you referring to the hub kit inside the prop? If not which rubber washer? Shaft seal? Happy to help if I can

[@karls4451]

@@hookjawhunters9419 I found it it was on the last piece that you put the bolt and keeper tab then nut on, guess it slid off the plastic piece onto the medal piece. Wish I could show you a picture but thanks you got me checking it out by watching your video, probably saved me some future headaches and money thanks👍

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Awesome!! Glad you found it and got it all buttoned up. Happy boating my friend 👍

Good tutorial. Seems easy enough. Are those gloves for coronavirus or do you always wear them when you work on your boat? 👍

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Thanks! I hate the smell of grease...like axle or marine grease ,so when I know I have to use it I generally wear gloves. Plus I look more professional right 🤣.. thanks for always supporting HJH channels!

[@PeelingLine]

@@hookjawhunters9419 Yeah and it also doesn't come off. I just live with the smell till it wears off.

What Diameter and pitch did you put on your boat

Hello. It's a 10.75" diameter with a 12 pitch. The prop number is QA2072X. Hope that helps 👍

Thank you !! Appreciate the nice comment. Have a great week 👍

[@SlayermikeFishingandMORE]

So what I get from this video is if we ever get out your way to fish and that happens I know how to help you fix it 🎣😎👍

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Glad you can fix my boat if I'm laid up! Well if you ever get out here and go on a guided HJH trip I dont want you to worry a hair on your head! Wait... 🤣.. you will be in good hands.. I used to buy..fix...and sell boats for a side hustle 💪..thanks for watching 👊

[@jasonbrisco]

Your fishing prop just became your duck boat prop...

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Ha! That could work. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@StevenAller-dh7ug]

We are creating a 'kayak' site for marine/boating parts and accessories to help people find the best deal vs. having to go to lots of individual stores to research - we may also provide links to content on youtube such as yours so people can also get advice. What do you think about this idea? Do you think it is a good idea for yourself/your audience? We would like to get some feedback before we get too far down the road. If you do like it, is it the kind of site that you would feel comfortable advising your audience to check out? Thanks! Cheers, Steven

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Good luck with the website. We do more fishing than boat repair so I'm not sure we are the best fit. Seems like a decent idea. Take care

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Hello just subscribed, we have a new 60 Mercury, no prop problems yet, check out our channel sometime, some boating, but mostly firewood videos 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

[@hookjawhunters9419]

Awesome! Thank you. I will stop by asap. Appreciate the support!
