Time to post some pictures, in 1986 there was no such thing as a Volvo Penta / OMC. You may have an OMC stringer drive, or an OMC Cobra drive, or a Volvo drive. All would have different probems, but someone may have put in a Volvo motor. They All used Chevy 350 engines.

The Volvo drives have a cone clutch that can slip. Have you checked to see if the gear oil is milky? (aka water in the oil)

for what its worth it goes into drive and starts to move slowly but doesnt get full power to the prop

could be a variety of things from spun prop hub to slipping cone clutches
