Only Friday we did really good on perch and bass.. 51fow out of the channel.. On Saturday it was alittle choppier and we went to where the pack was in 55 fow and only caught 2 perch.. On my way back in something happened to my motor and it would rev itself really high but wouldn't move . I had to come in about 2 mph lol .. I was told possibly the cluth.. We looked over the stuff that we thought it might be but cant find anything wrong, tried to turn the prop outta water, took the lower unit apart, fuel filter, things like that and everything looked fine

What motor is on your boat E? If it's an outboard it could be the prop spinning on the hub. They are normally rubber mounted and after time they will slip. You can't usually spin them by hand but when under power they will do like you described. They can be rebuilt fairly reasonably, but I would get an extra prop to carry with you anyway. Accidents happen and it's not much fun changing a prop in the water but it could save your azz someday...

It's not rubber mounted, its spline together solid..

99.9% there's rubber between the splined bushing and the prop, it may be painted and not look like it's there...

A good way to check for a spun hub is to mark the bronze hub against the aluminum part of the propeller with a permanent marker, take the motor out for a "spin" and see if the marks still line up.

Here's a site that you'll want to check out now that you're a boat owner... www.marineengine.com I've used it as a reference source many times... Mika makes a good suggestion...
