Prop rubbing

[RLS]

I am converting from a High 5 to a Raker prop. However, when I slide the raker all the way on it rubs on the housing and when I tighten the nut down there is alot of friction. I took 3 washers and butt them up against the Spacer to get some clearance. This left me with about a 1/4 inch of splined shaft sticking out past the prop where another washer is installed, before the nut. Is this right or is their a better way to do this?

Did the thick brass spacer stick to the back of the High five?

No, it did not. It was still on the shaft.

You need a special thrust washer for a raker prop. One that is made just for a raker. The high 5 washer isn't thick enough. Go to you local dealer to pick one up or sometimes if you go to www.marineengine.com they have good prices.
