    Motor Help

    I have a 1998 225 evinrude vindicator. For some reason just about everytime I run an old style rubber hubbed prop I end up spinning it. I was told there is some sort of modification that I need to have done to the motor. Does anyone know anything about this?

    You need to add the torque tab if you've taken it off, It has a pee hole on it that aim's H20 at the prop hub to keep it cool. If you have it installed take it off and make sure the H20 passage isn't pluged up.
