I assume you have Lehmans, so maybe the slow rotation at the props saved you from a catastrophy.
The props attached to a Lehman are not turning slow enough to save anything from anything.* Go down and watch the shafts turning and they are spinning plenty fast.* The props will suck in lines as readily as any other drive.* As to what happens if a line gets wrapped on a prop and binds up tight enough to stop the shaft, the shock can be enough to break one or more or the Lehman's motor mounts if the coupler or something in the transmission doesn't break first.* I've read several accounts of this happening to Lehman owners.* Big buck repairs.
