Your motor has a bushing on the prop that can come loose. You can take your prop into your dealer. They can put a new bushing in for you.

The bushing is in the middle of the prop. It is either a round or splined peice that is press fited in there. you will have to take it to your dealer. I beleive it is around $40 to have it fixed. You could also get a good used prop.
