I received my non-fitting Canadian Metals Prop Zinc today and DAH it dont fit, so I called WM and went to the special orders department. They called Canadian Metals, and they make a "course" insert for the prop zinc and they are FedExing me one today. I should know in a doy or to if this one fits. I sure hope so because I dont think I can get the 1 1/4" collar on my shaft.

Re: West Marine Prop Zinc Dont Fit - Revisited
Well I finally got the zinc and it fits perfectly....Looks just like the old Perry Nut (installed and ignoring the "set" nut). So now that part of the chore is done.Bill wrote: I received my non-fitting Canadian Metals Prop Zinc today and DAH it dont fit, so I called WM and went to the special orders department.

West Marine does not show this part number in their catalog. You have to special order them from Canadian Metals (through WM). The key is asking for the "COURSE THREAD" the part numbers are the same at WM so they will probably have to call CM to get the correct part number for teh insert with course thread.
