I've realized that I need to remove my prop and clean out weeds/line more often and I'd like to carry a dedicated tool for that on my boat. What are you using that may be simple and cheap for the 3/8 inch nut? I don't really want to buy a full ratchet set just for that and I'm not sure a box wrench would have the angle.
3/8 nut driver.
Depending on model, it's either a 1/2" or 9/16.
No problem get enough torque on it with a driver?Originally Posted by PatriotAW4
It shouldn’t be that tight.

Thanks everyone. Never knew the cone props come on/off that easily- sounds like the way to go.
The problem is, if you ever break the sheer pin, you will have a hard time getting that propeller off as the shaft will spin with the cone nut

The bobs one you can still get to the shaft to stop it from spinning. The th marine one you can't.
Bobs has a hole to hold shaft with a flat head

The prop nut on my Fortrex is a 9/16", and I carry a cheap socket and compact 3/8" drive ratchet just in case the back boater's line is caught in the prop. I also carry extra prop pins and prop nut, in case they are damaged or fall into the water.

Git one of these. At least you kin git your fingers wrapped around it to remove.

Cheap little “T” handle driver will work. With or without a big screw off nut you will want to carry a spare prop nut and pin or 2 to keep in the boat. Stuff finds a way of getting to the water in the pointy end of the boat while out on the lake. JMO Bob
