I was fishing on Amistad this weekend and on the 3rd day we went to move spots and out of no where my boat would not pick up speed. The motor would idle fine and my rpms would increase when I gave it gas but then my boat would stutter and never pick up speed. So then we began the long idle back to the ramp. After reading a little I was wondering if I could be spinning the prop, because now I could spin the prop by hand when the motor is in gear. Here are a few pictures of what it looks like when I remove my prop. I appreciate the help guys! Hopefully I can get it fixed because I have another tournament there in 2 weeks..

Cool well looks like it won't be a bad fix. Any idea on what causes it??

WE hit a stump at Amistad last Friday and it ruined a flo-torq hub but then the heat alarm started Sunday morning.
