#6 Prop Lock
 

Does anybody make a prop lock for a #6 drive?

McGuard makes one for the Blackhawk drive, it has the same size shaft and same threads. I have used it and it works great.

Do you have any problem with it loosing up. If you look close at the Bravo3 prop lock the base of the nut has a 45deg taper to it. The washer for the prop doesn't match the base of the nut. I am concerned there is not enough contact area between nut and washer.

The taper is to match the BH props. It can be easily machined off.

Airpacker,
I thought about that but was concerned that there would not be enough of the threads/nut left. It looks like you would be reducing the area of threads by ~20%.

When I discussed this idea with McGuard they didn't thing it was a good idea. Any thoughts on this???

You don't have to machine the entire taper off, just enough to leave a good flat shoulder on the nut. Its self locking so it shouldn't come loose.
