It depends on the diameter of the threads, but on something like what we see here, you'd want to first seat the prop with the big nut at about 250 ft lbs. Then remove the nut and put the small one on at 125, followed by the big one at 250. That said, I can't recall ever seeing a single torque wrench being used on the prop nuts. Hell, I'm impressed if they even know to put the little one on first.
Gloves underwater is diabolical
Is there any specific torque for those props from the manufacturer? Just wondering.
Not that I’m aware of. I usually just tighten them as much as I can lol 😅👍🏻👍🏻

Was a good job right up until you used a pipe wrench on a bronze nut…
nice job but man you hardly breathe
Big deal the hard part is removing the old prop kinda stupid.
Kinda like you? 🤷♂️
