I have a hard time agreeing with using a tapered reamer. I just won't do it for safety's sake. Especially on a 4-Stroke.
Safety?

Tell us why you have a hard time agreeing with the tapered reamer issue. Do you think APC is going to give you unsafe info in regards to mounting their props?

The slight taper that a tapered reamer cuts into the hub helps the hub to register (lay flat) against the drive washer. It is not unsafe.

I have many 4 strokes. A 220 Saito being the largest and I have always used a tapered reamer. Believe me once you try it you will always use it.
