Kinda like the song, but me nor my boat are feeling good. Hit something this past weekend at a slow speed
and now I have a bad vibration in the boat as well as in the steering. There seems to be a knocking sound under the dash. My service dealer looked at it and found a little bend in one of the fin tips on the prop with no physical damage. Left the boat with the service dealer over the week and they took it out today with a confirmation of the severe vibration. They feel that there may be something more than just the prop. My question is, can a slight bend in a prop cause this vibration in the steering shaft? Also, I had a code pop up in fault screen under the spn column listed as 520800 with a fmi of 7. Anyone know what this means? Very frustrated because it was my first trip out in it.
