6055 Prop Keeps Popping off

njreefermadness · 06/03/2012, 07:20 AM

I have a 6055 where the prop does not stay on anymore. This is by no means a new pump, and I have not had any real problems w/ my other stream/nano stream pumps. It keeps popping off the shaft. Do I need a new magnet/shaft/prop assembly?

What do you think?

Over time the clips that lock the propeller to the magnet can wear, this generally takes 4-5 years. A new 6055.700 should solve it.
