A lesson learned here for all. Most people do not realize the amount of torque that the prop shaft is subjected to. Unlike a car's drivetrain where the torque can vary, depending on terrain, the force required to turn a prop through the water is constant and increases the faster you go. Anytime you get a condition where it feels like the engine is jumping out of forward gear check your prop before tearing your lower housing apart. Chances are it's just a bad hub (or a sheared shear pin) causing the problems. Glad you hit the home run on the prop Randle.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly. (Leave the rest to God)  Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
