Is it as simple as it seems? slide on the prop, washer, screw on cone, then put in a bolt? Does bolt/screw need locktite or torque beyond hand tight? Any pointers?

It is just that easy ! I am not sure if you need to use a torque wrench, (we never did) and I don't think they make under water locktite.
Yes , DON'T DROP ANYTHING ! LOL Joe
