Don’t know why but decided to pull my prop after our trip this weekend. Haven’t done it in a while. Well, I had about 50-100yds of braid on there. Glad I did it. Might make it a habit of doing this more often. Curious what the general consensus is?

Not as often as I should! Typically only during the annual/100 hour service.

Same here, typically when I service the engine.

Usually right after I am pulling up to the dock to load up and take out ten orange bead double drop dead squid rigs dudes have set out with 15 foot surf spinning rods with 1970 Penn levelwinds spooled up with 100 pound monofilament. The good thing about line that big is it won’t cut your prop shaft seals it will just kill your motor…
But seriously, I don’t pull my prop off and check for line. I just had my prop reworked after about ten years and it was on that long.

I pull mine, check for line and re-grease the splines as part of my annual maintenance check list.

Thanks guys. Admittedly part of the reason I pulled it is I noticed the guy at Bass Pro did not align the nut perfectly with the retention washer when he did my service. So my OCD self had to correct that. Now its perfect

I do an essential check of the boat before heading out, including checking the prop for any wiggle to see if the nut is backing off or there is line around it.
I pull, grease, check and reseat once a year and carry a prop wrench in my truck just in case it is needed.

During every maintenance cycle at a minimum.
About twice a year. Early and midseason, and of course if I have suspicions
