WHEN I WAS OUT FISHING, SOME ONE LEFT A FISHING STRINGER IN WATER AND IT FOUND IT'S WAY TO MY PROP, I CUT THE ENGINE POWER JUMPED IN LAKE AND CUT THE LINE OFF THE PROP, NOW IT WILL PUSH THE BOAT FORWARD BUT WHEN I REV THE MOTOR IT WON'T PLANE THE BOAT , ACTS LIKE A CLUTCH IS SLIPPING IS THAT POSSIBLE, TOOK OFF THE PROP AND THE BUSHING APPEARS TO BE OK, TURNING THE PROP BY HAND WHEN IN GEAR THE MOTOR [NOT RUNNING] WILL TURN OVER IN ONE DIRECTION, BUT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE THE OTHER [ NOT TURNING THE MOTOR ] WHERE TO START ?
