Prop will not spin

[redrider_1220]

I have a 1992 evinrude 150 with hot foot. When you put the boat in gear it will idle around but when you press the accelerator it just revs up the motor. The boat will not take off. I brought the boat home, hooked it to water hose, started motor, put in gear and when you give it gas it spins. Seems it just wont spin under pressure. Thanks for your time and help!

Re: Prop will not spin

The hub in your prop is probably spun

You can mark the hub of your propeller, using the cotter pin as a pointer, and see if the grommet is slipping after running the boat.
