My Mach Sterndriver fits my TRS with the tapered spacer, but
the Hydromotive appears to be too short. As the photo shows there is still spline showing.. What do I need???????...Ed

how much above the prop base do the splines protrude? I know what you need, just tell me that...

Ed looking at the spacer I now see what you have, not sure with the TRS but the rest of the Merc's use a stepped thrust washer that contacts the prop rim. The one you have looks like it fits into the hub area without contacting the prop.

Gotcha thought the Merc dealie would work, it would be so nice if all manufacturers would standardize mounting hardware. I should talk with my Yamaha Turbo Ultima adapted to my Bravo:eek:

Hold it, the hydro uses all The merc stuff, unless it is odd ball it uses the bottom merc big thrust washer like Mop and the top like Poodle says.

So I should be able to take the front washer off the Stern Driver and use it on the Hydromotive???

I will be going up to the storage unit today to measure how much spline is showing..

My son thought the more the antiseize the better and it isn't hurting anything while we are sliding props off and on.. We will remove the access
when we are finished..........Ed

Now I am getting confused never needed a washer with a cleaver, cleavers need a thrust washer on those drives?

If the hydro resembles the second picture below, it uses the thrust washer in the third pic.... of which there is two different thicknesses.. :shades:

Use what poodle has in the first set of pics,,the older style merc stuff and get rid of the antiseize on the prop shaft and use the blue merc spline greese, antiseize has no cushion to it and could harm the splines..

Buizilla wanted pics, so pics he will get...
Then The Poodle can give me the #s as I am really confused...

Went for xrays and found fracture to the 4th metatasal..
