[QUOTE="makeithappen, post: 3027380, member: 24464"] I'd really appreciate that! It's a 92 25hp mercury 2 stroke. When it first started, last winter, the RPMs would increase with the prop feeling like it disengaged, but would engage again in a second or two without having to do anything. It's gradually gotten worse. Now I can't get above half throttle without it happening. I can sometimes ease it to full throttle, but the RPMs will eventually rev and forward momentum is lost. I can force the issue to occur by making a hard turn. I only have to ease back on the throttle to get the prop to reengage / gain forward momentum again. Lower unit gears are good. The guy I bought the boat from put on a smaller prop for faster acceleration (9.5 degree I believe). I'm leaning toward the prop at this point. I checked the shift cables and everything looks good and lined up / tight. [/QUOTE]
