[QUOTE="inlovewithsurfin, post: 269802, member: 9011"] been doing a little work in the past couple days... i changed the gear oil in the lower unit on my outboard (it was bone dry) and in the process i saw that the propeller was a little loose. so i took off the cotter pin and retaining nut to clean the threads before tightening it back up. found that the shear pin was broke in two pieces and that the retaining nut was plastic and stripped out! haha... put in a new shear pin and used a METAL lock nut and its all good as new! hoping to get out and see how the engine pushes the little boat around this weekend!
