I have a minnkota riptide 55 sc bowmount. I have fishing line behind the prop and am wondering how the prop comes off. I removed the “zinc wing nut”. Does the prop slide off or does it spin off the threaded shaft with groved flat head end. Cant get it to slide off or spin off. I don’t want to put too much effort into one way or the other untill I know.
Per the ones I’ve had (both Riptide and GW), it should pull straight off after you take off the nut; it slides straight on the shaft to engage a cross pin in a groove. It’s probably being stubburn because of crud.
Gotcha Covered,

Thanks, that was exactly what it was. I’m gonna have to add that to the yearly maintenence list. It was pretty gummed up.
