Nice video Mark. Just a couple points. When assembling prop bolts, you should measure the prop and adapter plate and then compare to the length of prop bolts. There have been some issues where some props were slightly thinner depth or older props that may have had shrinkage which causes the bolts to bottom out pre-maturely. If needed, during initial simply add an additional washer under the head of the bolts to give added clearance. If the bolts have been found to have bottomed out on an older installation, replace those bolts with new and add the appropriate washers as needed. Finally, if the adjuster bracket slot is found to be too deep in the slot as described, there is an official shim that is available from the Challenger factory at no charge. Thanks!
Thanks, Mike. My intent wasn't to cover every possible fix for every problem, but to give a quick a newby a quick rundown on the issues. I thought I had covered the prop bolt length issue sufficiently, but I guess a little more info never hurts

How do I sort out belt walking? My belt tends to try and run on the rear guide ring of the bottom pulley..
How can I get one
The last 2 Redrives I have rebuilt, I used NTN Bearings. Super high quality. Check them out. Japanese made.

Thanks!
