Re: need help troubleshooting

Only other thing then your prop that can do that is the coupler. Requires engine removal to replace and will get worse.

Re: need help troubleshooting

would going from a 2 piece prop to a regular one piece make a difference?

I think we're at the point of needing some more information.... Like - What is the engine? What is the drive? (Please include serial numbers or year of manufacture) What was the old prop? What is the new one? And what do you mean by 1 piece and 2 piece props?

Maybe the 2 piece is what he ended up with after hitting ground :D

Ayuh,.... 'n ya hit bottom, Crushin' the prop, ya changed the prop, 'n it still don't go good...

That means the odds are rather High, that the coupler is also trashed....

Pull the drive, 'n look in through the little hole the driveshaft comes out through...
You'll be lookin' at the Coupler...
You'll need to pull the motor to change it...
Then the motor will need to be realigned, so ya don't trash the New coupler...
