Eisboch knows about spun engine couplers.
Hint! Hint! If the gears aren't turning, neither is the water pump.

Hello,
like the gentelman above said you probably spun the prop,they have a
rubber center. if a new prop doesn't cure it i'd have someone check
the coupler. the coupler is also rubber and has a splined center that
your outdrives driveshaft seats into and can be slipping or spun as
well. i'm sure it's one of the two. good luck hope this helps. Brian



I doubt he would smell a spun prop. My bet is a wiped out coupler. Look
behind the engine for evidence of black, rubber residue.
