Lock tite is not permanent. It is good for setting up a good resistance to prevent it from loosing. I have never had any problems loosing a nut when I have used lock tite. Just a little more muscle. I was afraid of stripping the threads on the shaft. From what you guys are telling me that should not be a problem. Thanks for the advice.

G'day Mate,
What happens when you need to change props?
Don't use locktite, just tighten it, tight, get the right size spanner & do it up tight, it won't break & it won't come loose, unless you have a problem.
There are different grades of Loc tite. Some have an amazingly tight grip that one would almost consider permanent.
