My husband is having this exact same problem . He hit a unseen stump leaving the boat launch, at a very low speed. We thought that he was going to have to get into the gearbox and change out expensive parts. I am so thankful that you share expertise with us. I checked my prop and sure enough the thrust bushing is worn out. The rubber is gone. Thank you so much for the info and for saving me hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Our 1978 Evinrude 115 hp will be cutting through the water at top speed in no time.

My friend I want to say thank you for this video. I have a 120hp Johnson. I bought a prop from eBay for it over the winter, (as mine was kinda beat up). My first ride was great, second ride it started revving and slowing down. I though my gears were going. Your video saved me ALOT of work!! I put the old prop back on and it ran like a champ. Thank you for this invaluable info! Be well, and happy boating. John- from North Dakota.

I was out in a buddy's little 16 foot Boston Whaler with a 92 15hp Johnson on the back experiencing exactly those symptoms. Runs great in the driveway but no guts on the water.

I am not in the habit of commenting any videos but I had to make an exception here- this video solved my problem 100%. I was out on a Lake in Finland when my prop ever so slightly scraped some rock- nothing major, didn't think much of it. But then I had exactly the problem with high revs and going nowhere afterwards.I was afraid that the gear box was damaged but simply changing the prop as Stu suggested did the trick. I also changed to a larger pitch and suddenly my boat moves easier with high load- I just love these videos and the fact that Stu helped me from the other side of the planet. Keep up the great work!

Thanks mate. Had a wonderful week in Anjuna once. :)

[@giorgiogiorgi932]

In my old johnson 4CV 2T (1994) it was not the prop. I serviced it, then it began to rev up and getting speed slowly, but full speed. It has a spring onto the prop shaft, to engage or disengage forward gear. This spring needs to be totally down the shaft, otherwise it loses grip and the prop revs up slowly. I did not mount it properly. Everything else was fine, I thought I destroyed the gears but fortunately everything was perfect. 4cv johnson 2t gearbox is very simple and sturdy, I think only lack of oil can destroy it. Big thanks to Dangar, this site is amazing, I learned tons of stuff. I am an amateur fisherman hanging aroun tyreenian sea in italy, calabria

+Dangar Marine Thanks for the feedback. It idles a little bit low but not too bad. When I got back to the boat ramp (thanks to a lovely couple who gave us a tow) I was flushing the motor and it went into gear fine without stalling. I have since tried putting it in gear and turning the prop by hand and it spins clockwise with a slight clicking sound every half rotation. It doesn't spin anti clockwise when in gear or either direction when it's in reverse. When in neutral it spins and feels smooth. I took the lower unit off recently so maybe I haven't connected it up properly. It's an old Suzuki dt85 1982 model and they can be tricky to get back together.

Good afternoon All, I have the same issue, boat idles fine. In FULL throttle she goes slow. There's a sweet spot on my Throttle but dosnt go any faster than 1100-1300 rpms. Engine has good compression on all cylinders. Reading about 140 for each. The first thing I changed was the Prop. It was the one with the rubber on both ends so I bought a nice one thats solid metal. Also changed the gear fluid while I was at it..... I changed so many things on this 1979 Evinrude 85hp engine. Started with the spark plugs, boots and wires, coils, battery packs on both sides, solenoid for the starter, the starter, primer pump and all full lines including adding a new filter. I also rebuilt the carbs and had them cleaned in some hydroelectric cleaner that really shocks the life out of you cause i touched the water.... started using high quality gas and i've added SeaFoam to the tank to better the fuel. Still do not know what the heck is going on?!?!?! Thanks for this video, we all have a common ground! -Nic

[@DangarMarine]

Hey Nic. If it really isn't revving above 1300 I would check that the throttle plates are opening the whole way. Many boats have a mechanism to stop them revving in neutral, maybe that mechanisms isn't coming off even in gear.

I made a temporary repair by putting 3 screws directly into the rubber bushing from the rear of the prop. NOT through any metal. I think the screws expand the rubber enough to give some bite. 4 years later, it's still working. I tried it on another spun prop but it didn't work.

[@richardinliberec]

Thanks a lot for this. My boat lost traction at a time when I really needed it and it was a scary moment, made worse by not knowing what had caused the issue. Pity there is nothing about this in the troubleshooting section of the manual (Suzuki DF5).

[@hawks2252]

I have been fishing for years, but none of my buddies with years of boat experience as well knew what the problem was. so easy but the bushing is so critical - who knew.

[@bp-ob8ic]

You mentioned the shear-pin set-up ... One day, many years ago, we were fishing about 15 miles off the coast of Florida. When my dad put the motor in gear to move to a new place, the 100hp Evinrude just revved. He quickly cut it, and we looked over the transom just in time to see the prop fall off! Fortunately, we were in about 10 feet (3 meters?) of water, so I could swim down to get it. And also fortunate that he always carried an extra shear pin on the boat.

[@DangarMarine]

That's the important thing, being able to get your prop back too. Lucky it was shallow water!

[@bp-ob8ic]

It was late '60s so I may have that detail wrong. I know we had the Evinrude around the same time frame. But I vividly remember the words my dad used as it fell.

[@4GH440]

Great video, I have just had this happen on my Mercury 15HP motor on our tender. I now greatly suspect that the rubber on the spline has done this having watched your video as these are the exact same symptons. I will now give the repair a go myself and just replace the prop but also do the dodgy fix just in case of an emergency and have a spare available.

This is quite an interesting video indeed! I have been running my twin Honda 130 HP outboards and I have lost a significant amount of speed.

This video makes a lot of sense but I'm praying that it's not the bushings in the propellers LOL... Awesome video Stu!

[@DangarMarine]

+elspaniard002 Thanks mate. If you aren't getting above 3000RPM then it is unlikely to be the bushing as when they slip the engine can rev quite freely, a bit like a car sitting on an icy road - the revs are high but the speed is low. Sounds more like you are a down a cylinder or something. Have you checked/ changed the spark plugs recently?

[@elspaniard002]

Thanks for your reply Stu and much appreciated. I have changed the plugs but I still had the same problem. What I heard someone saying that maybe the mechanic changed the timing of the outboards. Could this change affect my performance on the water?

[@DangarMarine]

What year model outboards are they. If they are Honda 130s I'm thinking they aren't very old and will have computer controlled timing that can't be adjusted.

[@elspaniard002]

+Dangar Marine . Thank you very much for the information. I haven't been to my boat as yet but I will certainly have those suggestions in mind when I get to my boat. I remember you had a previous video on when a boat not wanting to start and I listened intently to every word. As for compression I do not have a tester. I checked the fuel and drained the vapour separator as well. Checked for sparks and I got them. Also I sent the starter motor to the repair shop but just not turning over. I realized that my battery cables are corroded so the motors are not getting sufficient current to start. I am going to replace them and attempt turning over the engines again. Thank you so much for the information; I've always wanted to know more about outboard motors and you have been of great help!

HI thanks for the videos. I have a 1979 Johnson 25 HP that has new carb kit and spark plugs. The motor runs great in a barrel I can rev the motor in gear but when on the water it will not accelerate past low rpms about 10 mph. It does not sputter or die just does not reach full speed. It can drive slow around the mooring field all day without problems. The same used to run great but it sat for a while before I got it. I pumped the primer bulb while running no change. There is a shock in the throttle handle sometimes on the water that I cannot feel in the barrel. Please help I'm at wits end

I would start with the basics. Check the compression, check the timing is advancing properly, check the throttle butterfly valves are opening fully etc.
