Location: Elk River, Minnesota | About the only thing I would be looking for is the potential of line wrapped around the prop shaft by the seal. If there is some, it can damage the seal. Other than that, nothing special. Pull the old one and replace. I always recommend if the motor takes cotter pins to hold the castle nut from rotating, is to replace the pin. Probably a little over-kill, but I'd hate to lose a prop from a cotter pin breaking off from being bent back and forth a few times.
