Default Blew out a prop

Well I was catching air on the 4th July and I heard a funny sound and vibrations, noticed that the RPM on my star. motor was running faster than the port. I backed off and came to a halt. All temps and gauges registered normal, so I put her forward and eased up to 2000 RPM no problem yet. As I climbed over 2200 RPM the star. motor again raced faster. I limped it back to the dock and have not looked yet. What do you guy's think, any idea's ?
502 mag and Bravo One drives.

Smell any burning rubber? If so, it's the coupler.
