“Is Your Prop Hub Slipping? The Test Every Boater Needs”

Is your prop hub slipping WITHOUT you knowing it? Here's the 30-second test that could save your whole day on the water.

There's a rubber hub inside every boat prop — designed to slip on impact and protect your engine. But when it slips on its own from wear and tear, your RPMs climb while your speed dies. You think it's a fuel or carburetor problem. It's not. It's your prop lying to you.

In this video, I'll show you TWO ways to catch a slipped hub BEFORE you launch:
✅ The Magic Marker Test (on-water diagnostic)
✅ The Vice Test (bench test — takes 30 seconds)

And if yours IS slipping? Don't panic. The fix is cheap and your local prop shop can handle it in one visit.

🔧 TEST YOUR PROP BEFORE IT STRANDS YOU.
