"Hi!
Just checked out JSRE tech question column at ScreamAndFly, and he comes up with a tip that is new for me!
"A little secret also, space your props as far back on the shafts as possible with spacers and have a nut machined in half, and torque to 100 ft lb. Leave the prop shaft just long enough to have one thread of the prop shaft hanging past the nylon on the lock nut. Believe it or not, this simple mod is sometimes good for as much as 4 mph".
This apply to over hub props such as choppers, cleavers, small hub Tropys, etc.
Have any of you tested this out???
Cheers, Toffen G
