First I will admit it's been a few years since I've done this, yea I know that's not good but I don't think there is an issue. Do you guys always use a torque wrench on yours?? Or do you just get it tight to line up with Castle nut or keeper pin hole? Other than inspection of fishing line and preventing the prop from seizing to the shaft how can you tell if the seal is ok? I assume not seeing any gear lube would be rule number one but are there any other signs to look for other than that?

Should have said Prop and shaft inspection on post heading..
