Re: Anyone Know What The Prop Torque Is On A #5
Merc Manual says 100 ft lbs. I torque mine to 110. Even with new lock nuts, they have a tendancy to back off. Easy enough to check if you trailer the boat. I'm on a Hydro Hoist so I up the torque. If you're on a hoist, just keep an eye on the washers, if you can spin em' or see a gap between them and the nut it's obviously time to retorque them.
