I happened to notice that the prop spins ever so slowly (about one rev per second) when at idle on my Yami F250. Is this normal? Thanks

Mine does also. I will be interested in hearing the reason. (06 F250)

Yes, I believe that is normal. When I asked, the answer was something along the lines of the lower unit fluid still moving around in the 'bullet' even though engine is not in gear.

My port HPDI does it much more than the starboard. My 92 Johsnon only did it on the port.

Out of the water it spins up very fast.

It's no problem and normal.
