    Why does my prop turn all the time???

    1978 90 hp merc motor. I just changed my water pump in my boat and when I had it on the hose I realized the prop turns all the time even in neutral. I just put this motor on my boat so could it be that something isn't hooked up right or it's out of adjustment? If so what should I check? Thanks
