Re: Help!!!

Please do not title a thread, "Help!!". It gives us no idea what sort of help you want on what. 99% of the threads here are asking for help.

You have a sheared drive pin or a spun prop. If it is a spun hub, take it to a prop shop and they can re-hub it for you.

Re: Help!!!

If you want to test for the spun hub, draw a line across the hub and prop, run it in the water until you hear it "slip", pull it out and see if the lines are no longer lined up. If they arent your prop hub is spun. You will need to get it re hubbed or get a new prop, depending on the shape of the prop and the amount you want to spend. GL
