i have an 89 v6 3l seadrive. for some reason the prop quit turning while under power. the motor runs fine, but when i throw it into gear(forward or reverse), nothing happens other than the engine reving. can anyone help?

Hope you have spun prop hub, other choices broken drive shaft, gearcase shifter, shiftcable came loose. IF it is pumping water driveshaft should be ok, check prop first.

water pumps out ok and linkage moves with shifter <br />if prop hub was spun shouldn't the prop spin with muffs on and in gear?

Shift rod linkage or disassemble gear case.
