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.

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 !!!!!

"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.
