Out of water it'll go into reverse and spin fine but in water nothing happens and you can hear it slipping sounds like. I found chunks of metal behind the propeller. I assume that's my problem lol.

"Chunks of Metal". Is the proper thrust washer installed? Do you see any obvious evidence where the "chunks" came from? Aluminum? Stainless Steel? Does the prop use a replaceable hub, or does it have the much more difficult to replace rubber hub?
