Dp-g drive with stainless Props help

[jon and michie]

Hi - while I have a spare minute - I cannot for the life of me remember if there is a washer/spacer that goes between the 2 props.
what I have is the splined spacer that goes on the shaft first then the first large prop then the nyloc nut with the special tool.
can anyone advise

Hi there, if you search for your leg type (or by serial number) on here you can see the exploded parts diagrams.

Thank You Scala.
I have looked on that site and found a thrust washer which goes on the smaller rear shaft before the smaller prop part number 3858458.
Before I left my boat last weekend I took a photograph of the smaller prop and it appears that the thrust washer is in the hub of the prop - maybe it got stuck in - can anyone confirm that this does happen ?

You could maybe try a PM to volvopaul, I'm confident he knows this inside out!

looks like the same setup as the DP-E, in which case , yes it does get stuck in the recess in the prop.
DO NOT LEAVE IT OUT! (dont ask me how I know!)

Thank you Tico - dont tell me your props slammed together causing massive damage to your leg?
I know your pain

Yes the thrust washer on my smaller prop lodges itself in the prop. Also DPG

Right I have removed what I think is the thrust washer can someone please confirm that this is the thrust washer?


Once it is in place there is probably about 1mm proud of the prop hub - does this sound right?
