You can check by putting a mark with a water proof marker pen across the prop and the end of the shaft. If the mark on the shaft does not line up with the mark on the prop after a run it's spun. Look at the two white lines, they don't match up, so the hub is spun.

If a spun hub is your problem, you can bring it to a prop shop or dealer and get it priced to rehub, it may be cheaper than a new prop.

I have two spun hubs at the moment.

Not surprising since the props are as old as the motor, 1957. :mrgreen:

Then again running the prop through the muck of the Illinois River didnt help matters any. #-o
