prop spins while in neutral

[dhpowell]

My 1997 150hp yamaha prop keeps spinning slowly while in neutral. Is there some adjustment I can make to fix this?

It normal for it to slowly spin when running engine, if you can spin prop by hand with engine not running and gear shifter in neutral then adjustment is ok.

It's the oil in the lower unit that makes the prop turn a bit while in neutral. No problem...

prop spends in neutral

Thanks. I thought it was weird because it pushes the boat at dock.

It shouldn't be pushing the boat, you might want to check the shift cable adjustment on engine to see if going into neutral.

No that indicates that it is still in gear something is wrong . Check your cable and see if it is centering
