I have a 2005 Mercury 50hp 2 Stroke. Whe the motor is running with the hose on it in Nuetral the Prop does not move.

Now I had a 2003 Mercury 60hp 2 stroke and when it was running with the hose on it in Nuetral the prop slowly turned.

Can anyone tell me if my 50 hp should or should not slowly turn in nuetral.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't really matter, Jeep. Oil turbulence caused by the driveshaft might or might not cause the propshaft to drift in Neutral.
