What did you do to your boat today

Took the boat out of the water today for the winter

 so I went to clean my drive today so I can paint it. Tried to get the outer prop nut off. No dice. Wouldn't budge wa afraid I was going to damage the props. Any issue with using my impact driver on it?

Did you try a breaker bar? I've had to use at least an 18" or longer sometimes to get some loose. And make sure to not over torque when putting it back on.

I will try a bigger breaker. What concerned me was the blades on the prop were starting to flex.

maybe maybe warm ita bit with a heat gun

I would think you’ll be okay with an impact driver if the breaker bar doesn’t work.

Got those bolts off. Must have been installed with an impact. Mine is rated at 1200 foot lbs and my guess they were installed at about 500. Now I can finish prepping the drive for paint.
