Which way do drone propellers go?
They call these “Self locking”, because on a quadcopter, 2 motors are spinning clockwise and the other 2 are spinning counter clockwise. By using propeller threads that are the opposite to motor spin direction, the props automatically lock themselves down and won’t come loose when flying.

How do you tighten a prop adapter?
The trick is to have the prop pushed on as tight as you can before you start tightening the nut, and often times, the prop needs to be pressed over the last bit of adapter, which you can’t do with it on the shaft because it just spins.
How do you install a prop adapter?
Can you over tighten a prop nut?
Hard to believe you would be over–tightening the prop nut as this spec is often around 50 ft lbs. Hand tightened or otherwise too loose may allow the prop to slam back in reverse with great force against the nut and possibly shear the securing cotter pin with potential eventual loss of the prop.
How tight should I tighten my prop?
Re: How much do you tighten the prop nut? The “correct” answer is, you tighten them to the manufacturers specification. The easy answer is you tighten it tight enough to get all the slop out then keep tightening until the next cotter key hole lines up.

How do you put a prop on a Mercury outboard?
Should my prop have play in it?
There should be no play while trying to push the prop/shaft forward or pulling it aft. If there is up and down movement or side to side movement then something is loose or the cutless bearings are worn. If the prop is moving forward or aft on the shaft then something is wrong there too.
Can you change a prop in the water?
All you need to do is: Pry back the locking tabs of the lock-nut retainer. Remove the propeller using a prop wrench (and a wooden block to keep the prop from spinning). Finally, give the prop a quick spin by hand to ensure that it can easily turn 360 degrees without binding, and you‘re ready to get back on the water.
