Replacing propeller for my 2016 G23

[supergtr35]

My boat hit the rock and propeller damaged. My friend help me . to too the propeller out today and I am going to replace it. I ordered from internet, would like to ask anything i need to pay attention when I install the new propeller back? I am new to the boat so i have no idea. Or very simple jsut place the new propeller into the shaft and jsut tight . the screw?

Thanks everyone.

That isn't all that bad, really. I've seen much, much worse. Buy a new prop online and send the bent one off to be rebuilt. When it comes back, you'll have a spare.

Any tips for replacing the propeller? OR just put . the propeller back and tight the screw is fine?

That's all I ever do. New cotter pin, obviously. There's a big religious debate here on PN regarding "lapping" the prop onto the shaft. I've never done it and the factory doesn't either but I suppose it wouldn't hurt.
