grooved side toward the gear case.

Lightly tighten the castle nut by
hand or wrench until the propeller
has no free play.

Tighten the castle nut using torque
wrench.

Then, using a torque wrench,
tighten the castle nut until the first
available groove in the castle nut
aligns with the cotter pin hole. Do
not tighten past the first alignment
of the castle nut groove and the
cotter pin hole.

Install the propeller and the plain
washer.

Note that these wrenches are not
