Pull the prop hub off

[BustedRings]

I'm trying to pull the prop hub off my Diamondback airboat but i can't seem to find any clear pictures or diagram of it. I gave the part number to Diamondback, but they didn't give me any info or visuals. I would appreciate any help.

If Diamondback isnt providing diagrams, try reaching out to the prop hub manufacturer directly, they usuaally have manuals or guides available. Typically, you'll need a proper gear puller and maybe some heat to loosen the hub without damaging it. If you're stuck, airboat forums or local shops with experience might be the best place to get practical advice and tips.

Few things to do, make sure the engine is off and the boat is secure, then remove any bolts and the prop first, the hub ca get stuck sometimes and if it is, gently tap around it with a rubber mallet to loosen it or otherwise get a pro to help

Honestly, if a company can't provide basic diagrams or support for their own parts, maybe they don't deserve the loyalty airboaters give them. At that point, aftermarket starts looking real attractive
