[QUOTE="jethro, post: 327410, member: 12381"] Pull your prop off and check the shear pin. You may have snapped it, but the remains may still be in there causing enough friction to maintain some shear until you throttle it up. I've had shear pins go with nothing more than throttle. They can get corroded and old and just go. I'm no expert here, but most of the lower units I've been through have a buffer or something between the prop splines and the lower unit output shaft, so it's unlikely you would have trashed the prop no matter what happens unless you hit something and have visible damage.
