Is there something special in removing the prop for a Riptide? It has a zinc washer with tabs and a nut. I can not get the nut off of this thing. Any tricks of the trade to remove this dang thing?
I think the nut and washer are one piece!

Yep.
Hold the prop and a socket will loosen.

The nut has a round top and maybe 1/16" of square area at back of nut, the socket can barely get a grip and has rounded the small amount of corner it had, one of the zinc tab has broken and the nut has still not moved. It seems to be almost welded on the shaft.
Grab it with a vice grip and put the motor in reverse!
