26 CHECKMATE

I recently was putting a new prop on my boat and when I spun the new prop there was a point where it got a little more difficult to spin. Has anyone ever experienced this? My motor whent out so I didnt have a chance to try it after I found the problem, any ideas? As always any help is appreciated as always.

I removed the prop and it was still there, I didnt remove the drive though. I did also check the thrust washer it looked okay but it was brand new when I put the prop on. What do you think is wrong inside of it. It all still turns it just gives a little resistance at one spot.

take the drive off and then see if it still does it????...if yes...u got issues....it is in neutral right???

Drain the gear lube in the drive and check for metal fragments. I'm betting you'll find some.
