[QUOTE="MadCatX, post: 219698, member: 3695"] Hey Guys, Been awhile hope all is well - we got a 18 hp short shaft Rude that we took out on the water in some pretty heavy chop and it started acting funny. We would give it slow throttle and it would push fine...anything much over a "fast idle" and the motor would hi rev.. So I thought maybe a carb issue..turns out there is a problem with the prop..its "slipping" The cotter pin and screw are fine..its more like the prop is able to move on the shaft when its not supposed to it has some slip in it like something internally has broken and itll move.. any ideas? Or perhaps any way i can explain it better? Its like full throttle the motor will run but the prop doesnt turn. [/QUOTE]
