Thank you for providing that prop picture, that all makes sense now. I am going to put the boat in the river tonight and see if she has spun or not. That picture is great, I could not picture any rubber in there but now I see there is quiet large amount of it, and how the prop could be spinning.

That also makes good sense regarding the thrust washer too.

I'll let you know how it goes after the in-water test tonight.

Thanks again

Most Johnnyrude dealers can repair a spun hub or have someone who can repair it. Usually about $40-50.
