I hit a hidden rock so hard that it made the engine jump but the prop wasn't bent and it ran ok. Several minutes later the engine stopped for no apparent reason.

Maybe the rpm's through the spun hub were too high to allow the engine to shift, although the engine seemed to be at low rpm when I tried to engage the gears. If you know why the good prop solved the problem I would love to understand it. Also, I'm amazed that you knew the solution. I'm in awe of your wisdom and expertise. Thank you sincerely, Jim Pruitt"
