[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 283518, member: 3278"] Okay........10 posts and nothing has been determined. If you want to know if your prop is slipping on the hub. [b][u]Mark it[/u]![/b] Run it and check it. Draw a line across it, install it, and see if the line is still lined up after you feel it slip. Second - check the gearlube. That will tell you if the gears are "slipping"............ Hint - once gears "slip" they are done. Period. A clutch mechanism, however, may slip and recover. I haven't looked at a diagram of the gearcase. If it is a simple Fwd/Neutral case with no reverse it probably has a clutch spring of some sort in it and that may be slipping. Again, I have not looked. If it is a clutch style and it has slipped repeatedly it will still have to be replaced. [/QUOTE]
