The hub is welded in. From your photos it doesn't appear as if the weld is broken. If the weld is broken you would be able to move the hub around inside the prop.
To mount the prop you need the following parts; thrust washer
12-835467 1 or 12-835467 5. On the aft end of the prop you need; 12-31211A3. Then the lock washer and nut.
Some dynamics have changed since the re-power, which is causing the prop to ventilate. What was the horsepower before and after the re-power? Do you have dyno runs on the new motors? What is the WOT rpm and speed with the new motors and the old motors?

thanks for the response matt, i think its posible its the trans after a little more investigating , i can barely turn the propon that side and i pulled the drive and it turns fine at first i saw a spot where the prop rubbed and thought thats why it turned hard i put the drive back on and its very hard to turn. i guess i was hopeing for the easy way out.

heres a better picture ,do you think the clutch pack could be slipping in the trans , would it grab again after letting off. i went with stock trans because over budget already. what fluid do you use in borq warner trans? thanks again Kevin
