[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 406785, member: 7076"] Possibly a spun hub. Make a mark on the prop that aligns with the cotter pin locking the nut in place. Run the motor until you get the slipping condition, then check the alignment of the mark. If it changed, you've got a spun hub. You'll need to either replace the prop or re-hub it. Also make sure that your lower unit is low enough in the water. The anti-ventilation plate should be just above the water line when at full speed. If not, you could be drawing air into the prop area (usually more of an issue at higher speeds) Not many other conditions provide for a slippage without significant gear noise or rattling. I'd check the hub first. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
