I have a 150 V6 Yamaha 84 model which I have bought and not tested in water, I have only tested with muffs on, my question is when put into gear the prop seems to slip forward and back on the shaft ever now and then, but when you give it more revs it spins nice and smoothly, when dropped back on the revs it seems to do it again, the prop seems like it slips in and out and I hear clunk, clunk.

My mechanic told me over the phone it maybe cause its not under load that it is doing that, and to try it in water. Only thing is boat is not registered so I cant test till I get it registered.

Has anyone had a similar problem or may know what it may be.
