Thank you for the replies. The shaft taper does not seem to be an issue.I placed the spinner housing on the shaft without the key and with the key. The position of the housing doesn't change at all. The shaft key as you can see in the video is captured wholly within the body of the prop "spinner" housing, so I don't believe that is the issue. Josh, there seemed to be some abnormal wear issues when I disassembled it. I couldnt get any good pictures, being so small. Here is a link to a video showing me installing the prop, including a good view of the slop I am concerned about.

He's followed up with several calls and had me send it back to them on their UPS account. We will see hopefully soon what the issue may be. -- Brian Fry S/V La Neige 1993 C&C 37/40XL HdG Maryland
