Fixed my wobbley prop

[Planetwarmer]

Heads up to anyone who may have the same problem:

I fixed my "loose" prop today. When I bought the boat, the prop had some side to side slop. I tried to tighten it with no success. Today, I tried a thicker washer under the prop and it fixed the problem. The previous owner installed the prop with the wrong washer.

I guess you call it a washer. I do anyways.

I am anxious to try it out. The boat has always had a "vibration" when it is under trimmed or during sharp(ish) turns. Hopefully this fix will cure the problem.:crossfing:

Every i/o boat I've ever owned had "some" vibration in those instances. U--joints don't like those angle-da-dangles! My guess is the vibration will still be there.

I sure hope you are wrong, but I have a feeling that you aren't. The prop did have quite a bit of movement though.
