Do you need to safety wire the outer two  bolts on the Power Fin prop? I went ahead and did them but it looks real funky.  I'm thinking on removing them. I'm more worried about throwing the prop out of  balance with that much safety wire that far out on the  prop.

Rick Pearce asked: << Do you need to safety wire the outer two bolts on

Rick, and Kolbers spinning a Powerfin -



No.



Two years ago, Powerfin issued a service update for all their propeller

models, announcing that none of the prop hub screws (6 center screws,

plus two for each blade) require any safety wire; they will remain

safely secure if properly torqued to the specified value.  



I spoke with Stuart Gort about this specifically.  He said many folks

still like to use safety wire because it makes them feel better, but it

is not necessary.



I do not use any safety wire on my Powerfin prop 3-blade.
