I have been looking to get the exact figure for the torque required for the prop nuts (ft.lbs) for an inboard. A number of forums say that its just a good tight squeeze that is required. Does anyone here have any other opinions?

Hold the prop with your hand and tighten the nut. If your hand holding the prop starts to hurt then it's tight.
