I got my prop tool (for VP-DP) from Marine Parts Experss. It's a substantial steel tube with a 1/2" drive at one end. I also got the VP prop grease and as many have said, use lots of grease. www.marinepartsexpress.com

Naw, ones left handed. You just have to twist a lot harder on it and when it come off there are no thread left on the nut.


Oh ok...have it your way....both are righties..... blush
