Don't use the rubber coupler/pad that comes with it. If you aren't using it, then it sounds like vibration is turning it? Are you sure it is aligned properly?

Hit up Dave at Concept Aquatics. I'm sure it's a warranty issue.

Have you checked the spacer on the back to make its set tothe right glass width? Mine did the same thing, just had to adjust.

Yep, you are right, I just checked mine. Mine did spin off as well, sounded like a jet plane in the tank, but it's been fine for a few months now.

Rock, I had the same issue with an MP10
If you get a wetside that isn't 100% it will spin due to vibration
If it's bothering you enough, take the wetside back and try to get one that doesn't go 'ch ch ch' when you spin the prop
