Hey Guys,
A buddy of mine just bought an older boat and he's got a stuck prop (48-88437-17) on an older (1988) Merc outdrive.

The lock washer, thrust nut and everything else is off and the prop won't budge.

Afraid of telling him to put a torch to it, as might cook some stuff in the lower unit.

Anybody have any advice?

Thanks,
Rick
