Re: 66 6hp evinrude prop problems
Hello Aaron. I'm not trying to be critical but your not getting your point across very well. You say your 'holding the prop in place while it is running' which I hope is not true. 'The prop is turning in shift' which is again hard to imagine what you really mean. The prop can turn in forward, reverse and even in neutral but I don't understand what you mean by 'in shift'. Take some time to better explain exactly what is happening and when. Lots of really helpful people here who will help you but you need to communicate the problem better.
I recently pulled a prop. off and it had so much fishing line packed between the prop. and the oil seal I doubt it would have been able to run. It would have needed more horse power just to overcome that friction. Try pulling your prop and have a look. Just a very wild guess. Don't give up, I see your very new to this forum. We all were new here once. That is a good motor and well worth your effort. Best of luck. Rick.
