Default HELP!

Hi Guys,

I was recently out in my 1990 Seary Cuddy Cabin when I hit something
under the water. After hitting what I presume to be a rock I was
unable to move the boat. No matter how much throttle I gave, the boat
would not move. Is this what is called prop slip? It was like driving
a car with a bad clutch. Can anyone tell me what happened and how do I
go about fixing it? Is this able to be done in the water or will I
need to take the boat out of the water? I appreciate any and all help
with this.


There is a rubber hub in the middle of the prop. You hopefully sheared the
rubber, and not broke a gear. You have to be able to remove the prop. May
be able to do it in water, with the drive tilted up.
