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.


That, or he sheared all the blades off the prop :-)
