Re: Flexofold prop FELL OFF!!
I recently installed two composite FoFs on Yanmar saildrives. I ordered extra parts just in case something went wrong or for the next time I have to pull them. I strongly recommend others do the same. One was “tilbehørspose” ‘ accessory bag’. The other was shaft nut with tab washer.
Plus extra anodes.

The composites were difficult to get to full torque on the nut due to flex while using a blade and wood to stop the rotation.
