I have a 97 evinrude 115 hp outboard. E115eleua. Powerhead is a reman. It's been running fine up til recently . Recently I've started having issues running straight on calm water. No weight adjustment, no touch of cav plate, trim tabs, motor mount, nothing. Just randomly started acting like the motor was ventilating/cavitating. Rpms jump up, speed drops. Original prop. Doesn't matter if I slow down or not it still sounds like it's catching air or something. Problem started out where I would slow down and it sounds like it caught air, now it's gotten a lot worse. Did the scratch test to see if prop hub is spun. Everything lined up. Now I did notice that there isn't a thrust washer or spacer on my prop.. What would happen if I continue to run it without that? It has a tab washer, and the nut and cotter pin, but that's it.. Please
help!!!
