1967 merc 110 9.8hp

Got the motor to run great, however it acts like a clutch slipping on full throttle. Slow her down, spinning stops and motor runs along fine. Any ideas?

Howdy, yrsouth.<br /><br />Welcome to iboats. <br /><br />Prop hub is spun or shear pin broke. Don't know which you have.<br /><br />Good luck.

thanks for the info. Is it something that can be repaired by me or does it have to go to merc dealer?

To a prop shop for repair

Depending on whether you have a local prop shop to do the job,it might be cheaper to buy a new prop from the merc. dealer. They're about $60-75. Repairing will probably be 1/2 that, but if it needs to be shipped for repair, it might be a wash. Also, if your old prop is chewed up at all, another reason just to buy a new one.

appreciate the info. Whats the rubber thing behind the nut? Is there splines on the prop? Is it heated and pressed on? Hope I ain't being to much of a pest.
