I have a 1442 G3 jonboat with an 83 mercury 18 horse. I have a 6 gallon tank, 2 group 29 batteries a bow mount minn kota and 2 200 lb guys. I just put a new OEM mercury 10 3/8 diameter 13 pitch prop. My question is if a prop slips on the hub due to an "event" is it junk or is it ok to run? Will in slip constantly after that? A couple of times I hit some pretty thick milfoil beds that would just make the motor rev up and not move very fast. I can only surmise that either the prop was slipping, or the milfoil was so wrapped around it that it was just a spinning ball of weeds that would not move any water. Also, last night I was having a ball going full speed across a lake and took a very sharp turn. After realizing that was a bad idea and straightening out I noticed the motor rev up and the boat lost a tad bit of speed. I slowed down and reaccellerated and whenever I would hit wot it seemed like the prop was slipping. Kinda like when the clutch slips in my VW. After dropping off my fishing partner at the launch I went for a quick zip alone and it seemed fine when I was alone. I've gone out about 4 times with this setup and except for the weeds and that sharp turn I have not experienced any issues with this prop/motor. What do you guys think is going on with my setup?
