 Posted: Jun 22, 2003 8:51 pm Post subject: I'm feeling a weird vibration in my boat when turning??? |
 |
|
| I noticed today when we were all tubing, and I was sitting on the back seat, of the Xstar, that when my friend, the driver would make a sharp turn at about 15 mph or so, the back would vibrate. It almost felt as if the propeller was rubbing against the botttom of the lake, but I'm almost positive that where we were tubing was close to at least 12-18 ft deep, so that seems out of the question. Does anyone know what might be the matter??? |

God is angry with you for tubing. Stop tubing and the noise will cease.

Check your prop to see if you have any knicks or dents. Mine had some and I had a pretty good buzz in the turns. I changed to a new four blade and the growl went away.

you could send it off to be reshaped, thats about $75. a new prop is around $150+

If he is turning real hard its cavitation, if its in the prop you will feel it regardless if you are turning or not.
