Does the large thrust washer behind the prop get used with the Hydros? I recall mine having the brass bushing, just don't remember the large washer being there.
Thanks

On an XR shaft, there is nothing behind the prop - so I have been told..... and told.......and told. Not sure what the deal is on a standard shaft.

Yes, but it's different. I forget how it all fits togther, but I recall the washer being different.

Jerry, The big brass washer I have is the exact same washer I have used for two years. It works with bravo1 props and works with my current Hydromotives and also a Mirage one time. You know what drive I have so it should work for you too unless you get an X drive.

Let me know and I'll get the # off of it for ya.

For standard Bravo 1 drives, Hydromotive told me I could use either the 13171 thrust washer for Mirage props, or the 12-835467-5 thrust washer for Bravo One props. The 13171 thrust washer allows the prop to fit a bit further into the gear housing, so I prefer to use it.

In either case, you'll also need to use the splined brass washer that goes under the nut.

Hope this is helpful.

I ordered the new upgraded Bravo drive from MBAM today. Not the X drive.
Just couldn't for the life of me remember if it had the large 2-3" dia. thrust washer in addition to the small 1 1/2" brass thrust washer. Must be that age thing!
So the large thrust washer is not used with a Hyromotive prop. Just the smaller brass one.

Do new props come with all neccessary parts?

Hydromotive Washer Info - XR shaft


Why would the sequence of parts used for an XR shaft be any different than for a regular shaft? Hydro shows that the prop goes on first, followed by the washers and the nut........... nothing goes "in front of" the prop.

Check out this Link. #41 is what you need to put "in front of" the prop. Thrust hub is what they call it. It's the same one I have used for my current Hydromotive and prior Bravo props. You'll also need a piece that goes "in back of" the prop. It's like #43 but does not extend into the prop hub like this one. You should be able to get that from Hydromotive.

Exactly Eric. The part you've identified as #41 (thrust washer or thrust hub) is what I gave the two part numbers for. #43 is what I was referring to as the splined washer that goes under the nut. I don't have that part number, but it is used with earlier Mirage props. Earlier Mirage props didn't have the hollow hub that uses the insert.

Yep, those are the parts! I called Hydro this morning. They gave me several numbers to choose from as far as the thrust washer (#41) I bought both parts you listed Eric.

BTW, pt# 13171 is superceded by the new current number 12-835467

Just picked up the new drive from airport. Jerry will be BACK ON THE WATER this weekend.


Eric,

Thanks so much for the drive info you gave my wife. We both really appreciated the effort.
