disconnected the remote shift cable
put in reverse manually pulled the manual start and the prop turned
put in forward manually pulled the manual start and the prop turned
started the engine
put in reverse manually prop turned slowly but increase in throttle didnt make any diffo to the prop speed
put in forward manually prop turned slowly but increase in throttle didnt make any diffo to the prop speed
reconnected remote shift cable
selected gear but no throttle response to the prop

Rubber bush in prop boss is knackered.
Your prop is in three parts, the outer part with the blades on, the inner splined part that connects to the lower gearbox and a lump of rubber holding the two parts together.
The rubber part has let go. it's OK when the prop is turning slowly, but slips when under load.
I bet if you put it in gear when not running and try to turn the prop by hand you can, and you shouldn't be able to!!!

These are the sort of thing you`re looking at http://www.steeldevelopments.co.uk/Rebush_service_for_propellers.html.
I would think you could get one as a Honda part if it`s the original prop.
If the cost is too excessive then a new prop would be in order.
I carry 3 in total, 2 Honda and a Solas 4 blade.
I personally don`t mind which one`s on as long as it`s no trolley damage.
There is one on e-bay from the U.S.FOR ABOUT £60 INCLUDING P+P.
Then theres these http://steeldevelopments.net/erol.html.
I think I got my 4 blade prop from these.

P.S. At least it looks like its not the gearbox but I still think you could have an underlying issue that`s causing your problems, ref your previous posts.

Just found this comment The "slide-in" nature of the Flo-Torq II Hub assembly allows customers to easily and quickly replace damaged hubs themselves.
Probably slide in with a 14lb tool. |

In the newer models you have a rubber bush inside.
Yours is obviously different as it`s got a shear pin instead.
The rubber bush idea is a different method of protectng the rather more expensive gearbox.
Nice to see it`s a cheap fix, eventually you`ll break everything then get to be a dab hand at fixing it all.
My last weeks trip from the Ashby onto Birmingham, then Wolverhampton and back to the Ashby via Fradley cost me 2 props. Maybe carrying 3 isn`t so daft after all and believe me I don`t change them till I have to.

Glad it was simple and as suspected. Note to yourself: Always carry a spare or 3 shear pins and split pins and the tools to change it with! Touch wood Ive only done mine once...while halfway down the swanny... but it does now get inspected pre-season and greased up etc.
You can even, (tho not recommended but it will get you home)- use any bit o metal that fits, a marine mechanic told me hes seen all sorts used as shear pins, bits of drill bits, sawn down screwdrivers, old bolts etc!! Tho I just carry the spares, cheap as chips on ebay!!
Thankfully its one of the easier repairs to do, but a common one!
