That happened to me once too on my 25' single engine. It was the oddest thing, we stopped in the middle of the river to meet up with others and when I went to get back on plane it felt like something was slipping. It happened several times. A buddy suggested the rubber prop hub was bad. We got to the marina we were staying at and I pulled the prop to look at it. It's a solid hub, it had been so long I had forgot what was on it. Anyway after some beer and discussions at the marina that night, we chalked it up to conditions - boat load (we had packed for a 3 day weekend), wave action, and tide. It never happen again. |

What prop, new and old? Pitch,diameter, blades, brand? Bibration would be my main worry. Sure sounds like u/joints. |
Sounds like a prop hub to me.
