Is the hole in the end of the prop shaft (AQ 280) threaded or not?

___Yes

___No

Should be......It's used on long hub props as the lock to keep the prop from spinning off. If your using a short hub prop, you also have a tabed washer plate that slides down onto the shaft slots and then the tabs are bent upward into slots in the longer cone.

Thanks guys - I had replaced my old 250 (short shaft) with the longer shaft 280. I've been used to the tab washer Scott mentioned and I knew the bolt wa used for the other set up, but I wasn't sure what was going on with the shaft because the hole thats there isn't threaded and it's sort of tapered.

Something still seems funny. If the 280 has the longer shaft why wasn't it drilled and threaded originally?

Guess I'll just figure I gotta get the hole drilled properly.

I've seen posts giving advice on that process.

Oh no wonder!

Look at the picture below...

...the entire outdrive is missing!

No stinking wonder I can't get that bolt threaded into the prop shaft...
