I have lost an engine coupler and still been able to idle back to the trailer.
If you lose the engine coupler you can usually smell the rubber burning.

same here, when I smoked my coupler, I would idle as far as I could, let it cool down and re-bond a little, idle a little further and so on...:eek:

Glad it was just your prop, thats alot cheaper!

new fuel injectors
 
Ive been putting my 509 back together, all new SS lines new injectors etc. etc. Figured I would do a pressure check to see if all was good before I buttoned it up and put fuel to it. I put a gauge on the regulator, and I am dropping about 3 lbs a minute. I can hear it though the intake runners. I am having a hard time believing the new injectors are leaking. Or could they be open alittle?? Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks, Dave

Pulled the prop yesterday, hub appears to be shot, rubber is ruined. Good call to everyone who suggested the hub. Off to the prop shop this afternoon, thx again for all the advice.

Right on Eddie, 54 bucks with tax, shaft lube, new hub and hardware. Boat runs alot smoother now than before, I guess that should have been a warning sign......again thx for all the help everyone

Glad to hear you got it fixed and are back running.
