What kind of prop?

Its for the fishing boat - 19Pitch 3 blade SS Standard Yamaha
thanks .

Outboard? Don't you just need a socket? I have all sizes and a 18" rachet if that's what you need?

Exactly, what Ray just posted, Ray and I are both in West Boca also. The Yamaha should be the same as a merc, 1-1/16 nut, and a tab washer. Bend the tabs out of the way, wedge a 2x4 between the prop blade and the cavitation plate, and turn the nut counterclockwise. If you need any help, we are local.

= the prop was put on dry and run in salt water for 5months - ive been beating the s*** out of it for hours..

now im being told to grind / cut / the old prop off.
any ideas?

I have one in my garage but its 250 miles from you. sorry

NO !!! Take a bucket with oil and set it in there ,,basicly place the bucket under the drive where the prop sits in the oil for 2 days and haveat it again !!!! It will come off ...spray it with blaster or WD 40 befor ,,reak good !!!

Don't cut it !!!!!:eek:

"PB-Blaster" blows away WD40 10 fold. Try spraying it for a day or two and it may surprise you.

OK,

now that makes sense, I dont have a puller big enough for that, but I bet if you were to take it to a marine service place they could get it off, you dont want to cut it, unless it is aluminum, steel would just take too long. There are a few places around here that I could reccomend, and they are both on this board. BAM Marine in Pompano(Marc), or Doller Offshore(Mindi, Dana, or Art) in Hollywood. Both also sell replacement props if you need one.

this is most likely too late for this case , but i found it while searching for answers and i'm sure others will too

what i did to remove a coroded on stainless prop on a mercury 200 was , and this is after knowing that the prop was getting tossed

use an angle grinder to notch the prop 3 times towards the end of the bell (prop nut side) , then the standard puller that they sell at Napa for 40 bucks has something to lock onto , then just pull it like any other pulley
worked like a charm , i soaked mine in PB overnight and beat it with a 4 lbs sledge and it still didnt budge , the puller trick took 20 minutes and i'm ready to lube the shaft and slide my new prop on and get back on the water
