Dan pretty much said it all. The only thing I might add is the possibility of cavitation or ventilation. That is where air around the prop prevents it from getting a bite on the water. EDIT: Motor mounted too high on the transom??
The suggestion marking the hub is where I’d start. That probably is the culprit (spun hub).
The clattering when you shift it is not good. Are you shifting sharply and decisively? Being "gentle" with it is harmful and destructive, and certainly will cause $$$ problems in the future, if not already.
