Hi to everyone - I was on this board when my 2001 9.9 power thrust kicker wes really driving me crazy - and the help here was great<br /><br />Now, I have the engine running and have put on ly a few hours on it. Today, while the engine was running fine at full throggle - it over rev'ed (really fast) and theh prop disengaged and forward momentum stopped (kind of like a cavitation). <br /><br />When I back down on the throttle it "catches" again and runs fine:<br /><br />Question 1 , Is this definately a spun prop and do I need to replace it or can it be repaired.<br /><br />Question 2, (kind of for Rodbolt and Willy B) - If you remember during the last round the service place I had it was really bad. They ran this engine for (I beleive they told me 3 hours) in their test tank at full on and with the regular prop and not a test wheel. Could this have resulted in the prop hub being damaged and causing the problem I am having now. It seem this is really premature failure for a prop that has never struck anything or been used more that about 200 hours?<br /><br />All advice and reply will be appreciated.<br /><br />Gary N
