[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 270579, member: 8490"] A lot of props have a brass hub inside that fits over the driveshaft/sheer pin, then between the brass and aluminum is rubber. A prop is "spun" when the rubber spins out so the hub and prop are no longer locked together, it's meant to break before any of your lower unit parts do incase you hit or jam the prop with something. The easiest way to tell if it's spun is to take the prop off, use a permanent marker, and mark a line on the inside on both the hub and prop. Ride around in the boat a few minutes, take the prop back off and see if the marks are still lined up, if not then you know the prop is spun [/QUOTE]
