The outboard prop does not spin in neutral because the transmission is designed to disengage the propeller from the engine when in that gear. This prevents the prop from rotating while the boat is stationary, allowing for better control and safety. Additionally, it helps to protect the engine and drivetrain from damage when the boat is not in motion. When shifted into forward or reverse, the transmission engages, allowing the prop to spin and propel the boat.
What else can I help you with?
Should an outboard prop spin while in neutral?
In neutral, the propeller shaft is not engaged with any other part of the motor so the prop will spin freely. You'll often see this when a boat is being towed down the highway - the prop is spinning the same as a windmill does in the wind. It's best to let it spin cause if you put the motor in gear and the prop hits something, such as your driveway while you're going in or out of your yard, there is no give and you could damage your prop or worse, the gears inside.

Evinrude 25 horsepower outboard prop slips while under a load. Or could it be cavitation?
Sometimes the center of the prop breaks loose and slips or the splines get stripped. Also check to make sure you have the correct pitch prop for that motor and it is fastened securely.
Why do helicopters spin around when they crash?
They do not always "crash" in this manner. although when they do, it is mainly due the instabilization of the tail prop. ============================================================ if the tail prop is not spining the rotation of the main rotor will force the helicopter to spin in the opposite direction, by air drag, the tail counterbalances this force.
