    Terrova prop issue??

    Is the prop on a 80 lb terrova easy to spin by hand?
    is it supposed to stop immediately?
    mine spins but stops immediately, I have also noticed at max power my full speed is reduced a little bit as well,

    it doesn't seem to bent or anything

    Is there a maintenance on the prop

    thanks, maybe I'm just thinking there was something wrong after I removed a whole bunch of fishing line around the prop shaft

    The prop will turn somewhat tight due to the magnets grabbing and make a jerk feeling. You shouldn't be able to spin the motor by hand, by that I mean hit the prop and it continues spinning.
