How do I replace the prop? It seems very stuck on there...

I haven't had to replace the prop on my sbach. However I'd suggest removing the prop adaptor, rather than tugging on the motor. There are three Phillips head screws securing the adaptor to the motor and it should pop right off when they've been removed. I hope this helps.

I believe there is a thread in the glass globe...just rotate it to screw off globe

I had no difficulty. What part seems to be missing? If something is not there perhaps you should contact the seller.

Replace it through the tip - plastic end first, while holding in the other end. It should slide right in.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

I have treid everything. I know the ottom hinge pieces are locked in and I still can't get it to stick on top.

Yes, the propeller comes right off the shaft. Just pull it away with a steady force. To replace the prop on the shaft, it may be a good idea to place the opposite end of the shaft on a piece of wood. As you reposition the prop onto the shaft, the shaft itself is supported & backed up by the wood. This will help prevent damage to the motor.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

I was unable to find replacement parts. The prop and sloted brass nut fell off mine within the first 30 sec of operation. Probably was left loose by the manufacture. So I just returned the boat for a new one.

Same thing happened to me, what I had to do was unscrew it and take it off that way. Basically it's poor craftsmanship and it gets stuck easily

I would contact either the manufacturer or the vendor. Usually they offer replacement kits for screws and other small parts. No experience with this particular item.

We had the same problem. We just got a wooden board the same size as the seat and screwed it on. It worked find. I don't know where to buy a new on.

The nose cone/spinner pops right off. I just grab it with two fingers and pull, allowing access to the nut holding the prop. If that doesn't work try a small standard driver to pry between the joint.

If you say it's a prop, you might be able to. Just don't go swinging it around.It'd be best to contact them.
