If it's happening every few minutes and the shaft is OK .. hmmm. I've never used the big props, mine are older and from the time they didn't give you the two. So I don't know if it's just something to do with the bigger one .. but it seems to me if it's hitting the tab and switching directions ... then hitting the tab again a few minutes later, then it must have switched directions in that time. Dodgy electricals? It's not running on a wavemaker is it (seems like an obvious question but I'll ask it anyhow).

I thought maybe an electrical problem as well, since once it hits the tab on initial start up and then starts spinning in the desired direction, it should continue to run smoothly until power is cut off and it is restarted. Myka did mention that it seems to be running in the wrong direction though. If the prop is mounted upside down, perhaps the curvature prevents it from properly engaging the kicker tab???
