I have a 50 hp Mercury 2 stroke on my 2008 bass tracker TXW 175. when I purchased it I replaced the 3 blade prop with a 4 blade. I have been running it with no issues for about 3.5 years. The other day at the lake I was moving along well and the prop just quit spinning and the motor reved up. I stopped and put in neutral and then put into gear and it would spin very little and go about 1-2 mph. Reving it up did nada but make noise... I was in a clean area of the lake where no stumps that I know well. Some people say stripped gear and others say something about a rubber nut thing in the prop to check. Thoughts? Any intel is greatly appreciated. Thank You, Nathan
