Hello to everyone: I have been putting on and off props on gas engines for some time. With that said has anyone out there ever had the prop bolts sheer off at the hub while engine is running ? If so what could cause the problem ? what is the solution? would appreciate comments on this one.

Hey Robert,
It's great to have you here!!
As for your question, all of the above is true with one additional cause. If your prop isn't drilled correctly, meaning your guide slipped when you were drilling, you might have to force the bolts into the hub. If the holes aren't aligned perfectly, it puts stress on the bolt and the vibration will snap it.
Welcome to the Giants!!
BTW, I'm going to move your thread to the gas engines forum, more exposure for your question.
