I have a 2020 Mercury Pro XS 175. I was running down the lake this weekend at ~45 mph. I trimmed up slightly and all of the sudden I lost rpm's and the motor started to vibrate. I thought something was wrong with the motor. I put it in neutral and revved it up and it's as smooth as butter. I'm in FL and the lake I was on has zero things to hit in the lake. I looked at my prop- no signs of damage. We had to idle all the way back to the dock as the vibration was bad. Any ideas???
Cracked blade, failed hub. Lower unit fail etc.

Does that happen on it's own without hitting anything??
Yep, Sure can. Do some closer inspecting.

That happened to me several years ago and my motor had bearing failure in the lower unit due to seal leaks and water intrusion.
