Porp spins in idle

On my 93' 200 hp, I noticed today that the prop spins fast when engine is in idle. The boat is not in gear and the prop can be stopped by putting something against it...once the item is moved though the prop begins spinning again. Is this going to lead to other problems or something I need to fix?

That's normal. Some do it worse than others. It's actually kinda unusual for one not to. Some spin backwards. It'll do it more on muffs than in water. No significant thrust is produced.
