Had it on the lake this past weekend and worked great most of the day. Came out of a cove slow (ton of debris on lake cumberland) and most of the way back to the ramp. Went to open it up and motor revved but I wasn't going any faster. I've read some other posts and it sounds like a spun prop. I'm taking it to have it looked at. I had just put new gearcase oil in (type "c"). Thinking that it may be something to do with that I drained some. This pic is what the oil looked like after a day on the water. Does it look normal?

Here is a link to the pic
