Motor Guide issue

[Captain Dan]

I had to replace my 2 blade prop on my Motor Guide wireless. I finger tightened the nut that holds the prop on.
After using the TM only a short time it quit turning and found the motor locked up. I could not get the prop nut to loosen up, even with pliers.
Is it possible that the nut is too tight causing the motor to not turn?
I did not want to break the ears off the nut loosening it with needle nose pliers. Is there a better set of pliers or tool to use on those nuts so the ears don 't break off?

Well Dan I hope you fixed the problem cause I have no ideer!Maybe put a rag on it then grip it with pliers?

Get rid of the plastic nut and replace it with a stainless steel nylock nut. Sounds like you may have gotten some line wrapped behind the prop. Braid will surely lock one up tight. Good luck.
