200 Johnson Ocean Runner

The other night just crusing along (not fast 5 or 8 knots) I felt something hit under the boat. Stop checked everything look okay. Started to take off the RPMS jumped up rapidly then back down. Got home removed the prop and the hub appeared to be spun. Had it replaced seem to work fine most of the evening then it started back jumping Rpms. Is it possible the hub spun again or is there a break in proceedure I failed to do. Hopefully nothing is wrong with the motor. Please help

Thanks

Sometimes when you have a hub replaced, also can happen on a new one (rarely), the hub can spin if the prop nut is not tightenned properly to the correct torque. 55+ foot pounds is good.
