Last night on the water I had it throttled full and was going 6 knots only. Today I brought the boat to the marine shop for yearly inspection and maitnance and of course told them about my issue stated above. When you said the only way to know is for a loaded run in the water I became nervous because I don’t want them to take me for ride with diagnostic charge. What are some options in my situation that other than this very informative video?
My boat is a 2017 tracker Sportsman 2072 when I took it out this week I would give it Full Throttle it wouldn't go over 10 mph and it didn't sound like it was getting full throttle any suggestions, it starts right up and idles fine its a mercury 150 with 90 hrs on it. I did get low voltage when I'd go to put the prop up or down. And it would peep sometimes low voltage.
Duh! Why didn't I think of that? Would this work running in forward gear in a test tank, getting just enough movement to tell, or must it be on the water? Would help not to have to drag 2 outboards to the lake, one of which is very heavy, and I can barely lift into my truck.
The centre and the prop "housing" are glued together. The friction is still powerful enough when the glue has failed, to rotate the prop at low speed/power, but when you open the throttle friction is overcome & & the prop doesn't rotate.
@@moabdulhamid6839 If you can obtain a propellor to fit a Mercruiser outdrive leg that is one piece and you catch a rope at high speed, you will (probably) dismantle the leg/engine. The two-part glued prop is there for a reason.
@@moabdulhamid6839 Yes, I have a boat with a shaft arrangement the same as you. The Mercruiser is fitted predominantly in American sports boats, and is like an inboard/Outboard.
Great, to the point video, I think you just diagnosed my problem. Thank you !!
That you very much. Key to this video was its short to the point,easy to diagnose
THANK YOU for that video, I spun my brain trying to figure out my Hub ...
So what if your boat goes into gear prop spins but it just revs up but won’t go anywhere only can go one knot

How easy should I be able to spin the prop by hand. ( checking alienent)

So smart !
How do you stop prop chatter?
what about a plastic prop??
Same thing. It'll still take the punch.
I have a yamaha 70hp 2stroke, motor runs but prop won't spin, why ????
Do u hear it click/clunk into forward or reverse gear when you try to make it spin?
Is this a new boat ?
@@ToeBro457 yes, i can here a click sound. And no, boat is 2008...
The click/clunk coming from the lower unit area correct? If it sounds to be engaging and still in neutral you may have a spun hub
Can anyone explains what a spun hub propeller mean

@@helmshardover so that means we should buy a propeller tat s one piece

@@helmshardover I got you.I used to own a boat with inboard engine and the propeller was brass one piece,thank you for your patience,cheers from Egypt
