Went boating today and stop the boat on the water then went to go and started to go alright then the boat motor started to whine out like i lost the prop. Throttle down,tried to go again and motor goes when the prop is going slow but when i throttle up it just throttles up and goes nowhere. Works in forward and reverse as long as its in low power . I am new to this boating thing but i think i may have spun prop. With motor off shaft seems to turn freely. Iam at a loss. Any imput will be appriciated.. thanks

Sounds like a spun hub.Draw a water proof line across the hub and body test it till it spins and check the line.
