98 Sport Nautique vibration

[Steven]

Was going 38 MPH when out of no where started feeling a bad vibration slowed down and it went away speed up and came back. Anybody ever had this problem before?

Check your prop for any dings, you might have hit some debris.

Could be a number of different things. Check prop first as it is easiest. Could be cutlass bearing in the strut, move prop shaft aft of strut side to side and up and down. You should have little to no play in the bearing. Also, when was last time you had shaft alignment checked?

[Steven]

On the way to the prop shop now hope that's all it is.

I just bought the boat over the winter so I have never had it checked. About to go have that checked as we'll. thanks

[Steven]

No play at all in the strut think I am safe there.
