Are you saying that the engine moves the boat a low RPM's but will not move it at high RPM? If that is the case you probably have a spun hub in the propeller.

Yes, he sounds right, but if it is not prop, there could be debre on bottom of boat causeing air bubbles makeing prop ventilate.

Just got back from removeing the prop and sure enough there was plenty of rubber chewed up in there.

Yes you can have it repaired and they can fix any dings or damage to the blades.Can't help you on the price but reasonable compared to replacing it.

Relief hole is that the where the water comes out of motor on rear right top? If so the stream of water looks fine.

I just installed a brand new merc. prop. But the bushing is plastic squared on this one.

Thanks again Aj
