Thanks, adding mods at the moment-aluminum steering servo mount, aluminum water outlet, auto bailer, y535 prop, bru-line seals, and aluminum tiger drive.

I use a very small piece of fuel tubing to fit my prop shaft. Then I screw on the prop lock nut until it just makes contact with the fuel tubing. Finally one slight turn of about 1/4 is given to snug the lock nut up against the fuel tubing.

You might want to add a little piece between the collet and stuffing box. It will help to keep from loosing your whole driveline if the collet ever comes loose.
