Hey guys,

I'm putting a new prop on a 1990 Johnson 90hp 4-stroke. How do you know how much torque to place on the nut to tighten it down? I know there is a set level of torque, but I don't know what that is nor do I have a wrench that measures torque.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

gopackgo- I have a 1989 Johnson 150HP. Here's what the service manual says about 90HP, i.e., my service manual covers 88-110 and 150-175. The following 90HP models are covered by this manual : E90MLCE, E90TLCE, E90TXCE, J90MLCE, J90TLCE, J90TXCE, and J90TLAE.

It's probably a good idea to have torque wrench.

Here's a copy of the prop installation page. I would assume there is no difference, i.e., 1989 to 1990. But you might want to check with local dealer.

The V4 instructions don't include the piece of wood 2x4. You'll need that too! See figure 3.

Ooops! just saw you said 1990 4-stroke - didn't know they made 4-stroke back then. You may want to talk to a service tech at your local dealer.

Have fun!
Al
