I have a Johnson 175 Faststrike and was wondering how free the prop should turn when the boat is in neutral. It seems a little stiff to me. I guess what got me concerned is that I turned the prop on a Yamaha motor at it seemed to spin very freely after you let go. Is this normal or should I be concerned. There are no grinding noises or anything unusual.

Thanks,

Crankit

In neutral, unit full of the proper lube...... if you can turn the propeller easily with one finger, that's fine. It's not going to continue spinning.

Thanks Joe, It turns easy just different compared to the Yamaha.
