Poor fit of prop to stub shaft. Video included. .007"of slop, is this normal?

I am using a grim Racer 40x52/3 prop on an OSE...

what kind of speeds are you getting? whats your battery?

I agree, No Bashing, just recommendations from other experienced and HAPPY pilots of this wonderful boat....

these are all from kintec, some new and some used. Welded shafts, ground, pretty good in my opinion. More pics but you get the point, I think only one was 187, all others were 1875, even the lightly used ones.

I am so so sorry, I meant my prop fits well on an OSE shaft. I use that prop for my BBY Zephyr Hydro. Sorry to confuse you, man. Anyway, as I said, it really is a tight fit, of course I did not measure, I am not a machinist by trade, but I understand your frustration.

here is my last run on that hydro:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzLh_xD0k1U
Not that it's that impressive speed wise, but hey, I am happy with even little progress on my part setting up the boat.

That convinced me. I ordered a Kintec.

And this is why I love the forums, you got me thinking about tolerances so I thought I would check. I make my own and this discussion got me thinking about a problem I was having, the shaft had bent and was causing problems. I just didn't think about checking but reading this gave me new perspective to my problem. So thanks for the post and keep the questions coming. :)
