Like BigBo said earlier check out the prop hub first. Din't need to be a mechanic to do that one.

Before you do ANY further testing, veify that you have gear oil in the leg....

Exactly right.
Then check prop hub, then lower unit gears......IMO |

Doubt it's the prop hub, engine would race and boat wouldn't move fast. I'm sure they have some sort of fail safe system that limis rpm when there's a problem. I'd also make sure the linkage is pulling the throttle all the way open on the engine.

Agree not the hub, the engine would race.
The newer OBs have overheat and low oil S.L.O.W. (Speed Limiting Overheat) sensors, that will not let the engine go over a certain RPM, I picked up a trash bag on the LU and the SLOW kicked in, saved the powerhead !!!
Check there is enough oil or that the sensor is OK if you got plenty of oil.
Good Luck
Let us know....
