I have a Motorguide HVT 3000 (30 lb thrust) on my 10ft Jon Boat. I was trying to do some maintenance and removed the prop to see if there were any weeds or fishing line wrapped up in the shaft. I found some weeds and removed them and then put the prop back on. I put a little too much into tightening the plastic nut/retainer and stripped the threads on the plastic. The threads on the metal shaft are fine. Where can I get another plastic propeller retainer nut/washer assembly? Do they come with the new Props when you purchase them?

For the mean time I have a large concave metal washer and metal nut but it seems that has caused the alignment pin on the shaft to bend a little when the nut is tightened. Is this cause for concern? If so where can I get a new alignment pin as well?

What are the correct names for the items I have mentioned?

Don't fret just yet. Should be easy enough I think Walmart carries replacements for it and it should include the nut, washer, pin, and prop. Should be under 20 bucks.

Motorguide sells a Ninja prop wrench kit. The kit includes a prop nut, 2 pins and a wrench. M/G part nr. - MGA050B6. It is available from Bass Pro Shops. Their part nr. is 593-696-00. It sells for $15.99.

I have never seen this kit at Walmart. You can probably find it at a M/G dealer also or at least the prop nut and pins. The plastic wrench holds the pins.

I keep spare nuts/pins onboard all the time. Never know when you might have an "oops".

Shortbasser,

Thanks a bunch for the info. Now that I have a part number I feel my options are open. I was thinking the things I needed were obsolete. I googled the Motorguide numbers you gave and I came up with an even cheaper option. Check it out:

Airborne Angler,

That is quite a find on that price. I have never seen it that low. Also noticed that the "nut" has a brass insert. That is quite an improvement.

Hope you don't get a surprise when you order it and find that price is a "typo" and should read $15.95 vice $5.95.

Good luck,
