Hand tightened. You will want to get it snug enough that you can feel the gasket on the back begin to press in, but no farther than that. The gasket will expand in time and self-tighten against the prop.
It’s right to tighten and left to loosen.

I tightened my Eliminator for my Ghost as per instructions and after a month it fell off in the water along with the prop. That’s $100 in the water. Don’t you have a more secure assembly process? I’m afraid to risk another. Never had a problem in 3 years on my Ultrex
I have not seen that issue previously, I have seen them overtighten due to hitting debris or stumps, rocks with the trolling motor or fishing line. The only reason that could happen would be it not tightened down enough or not removing the factory nut and washer or anode prior to installing the Eliminator. If you can email me at ashelton@thmarine.com and tell me what color Eliminator you had I can send you one this time under warranty.
