[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 261501, member: 7791"] A quick way to check is to put your motor in gear (while off of course) and try and spin the prop by hand. Usually if the prop is spun then you will be able to spin it by hand without much force. I would get the prop hub wet before hand also, this will act as a lube just like when in the water. When it is dried out the rubber may grip harder making it seem like the prop is not spun. Holding one hand on the flywheel so the motor does not turn over while trying to turn the prop can also help. But you don't want to get carried away cranking on the prop and holding the flywheel. [/QUOTE]
