Great news! I glad you found the problem.
Did you try to move the prop by hand? If so, did it slip? Just checking for future diagnosis.

Re: High speed motoring change
I did try to move the prop by hand...but i couldnt tell whether the prop was spinning or if i was turning the motor over.
As far as ballast, i do fill the ballast when it gets rough.
Thanks again.

When mine spun, I could not get it to slip by hand.
