    Bad hub?

    Hey guys was noticing the prop starting to slip when I was running about 3/4 throttle wasn't turning or was I in rough water, then I noticed wasn't pulling top speed. When I tried to load it didn't want to push the boat on motor would rev up but nothing. Pulled the prop the hub has some thin cracks running in it never spun a hub, are cracks an issue?

    I spun a hub one time and the motor would rev (at about 3000-3500rpm's) just before it planed off.

    Can you borrow another hub to see? You ought to be able to see if its been slipping on the plastic

    Take it to a prop shop and have them press in a new hub.
