Get a little too cozy with the sandbar last weekend?

Or maybe you chased a lunker through the weeds one-too-many times.

Regardless of the reason, changing a prop is a boat owner’s rite of passage. The good news is, it’s a relatively easy job—but it’s a job that absolutely needs to be done right, elsewise your shiny new propeller will quickly go spinning off into the murky depths.

That’s why the boat brainiacs over at Quicksilver Products made this easy how-to video. It’ll show you how to safely remove your watercraft’s old propeller and correctly secure the new one.

As a cousin company to Mercury Marine, the experts at Quicksilver know an awful lot about boat propellers, and have focused that brainpower into a robust lineup of their own high quality replacement boat props—which means they’re more than happy to show you how to swap one out.
