Besides that, if your prop didn't come with bushings (like APC electric props do) the only other option is a different prop or a different prop saver.

I use the deep "V" side and find that the prop self-centers with no vibration if the O-rings used to secure the prop are not too tight. I loosen up stiff O-rings by flexing with some needle-nose pliers. I have found the prop savers to be very effective.
