It should have a rubber hub pressed into the prop. It can go bad and is in place of a shear pin. The rubber hub should allow the prop to turn at idle speed but will slip at higher speeds. You can get a new hub pressed into the old prop.

Odds are you have sheared the pin (slides through the prop shaft) holding the prop, or you have damaged the slot on the prop that the pin sits in.
Prop is secured to the shaft with a metal nut, or flat plastic wing nut. Remove the nut to remove the prop. You may have to pry, slightly, the prop from the motor housing. Removed, you will see a whole in the shaft where a pin should be located. If the pin broke, it probably hit the floor when the prop was loosened. If the pin is intact, examine the rear side of the prop and look for damage to the plastic slot where the pin would sit making contact.
If you've snapped the pin, you can make a replacement with a nail using a hacksaw. Replacement pins can also be ordered from Minn Kota. If the back side of the prop is damaged (recess for the pin to sit), the prop is toast. Replacement props are often carried by Walmart, and include a new pin.
If neither part is broken, perhaps the prop was just not seated on the pin correctly allowing the prop to freewheel.

that engine should be electronic ignition, so I would suspect your problem is your coils.

In the hub of the propeller is a rubber bush that stops damage to the shafts and g/box if something is struck with the prop.These bushes do give way and are repairable.See your local boat shop or look for a specialist propeller shop.Probably the latter as the boat shops sends the props to them anyway.Its called the propeller hub bush or just the prop bush.Just take the prop into them and all will be good.Hope this helps you
