Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. I have a 2008 -- 230. At times under load my steering wheel chatters pretty loud when throttling up out of the hole. The majority of the time with no ballast its ok unless I throttle up turned and not straight. When surfing and loaded it's worse. It also chatters when I throttle the boat up on the trailer. There's really no vibration in the boat. I've done the following to help other issues but it didn't help the chatter.
Prop has been taken in and checked and balanced
Rudder and stuffing box replaced
Steering cable replace.
Made sure the steering wheel and helm were tight
360 hours, Acme 1579 prop, 6.0 motor.
I've had inboards do this in the past but not as bad or often as this one. Running down the lake is smooth with no vibration. The strut seems to be fine but I'm not sure about the bearing inside of the strut. It looks like it could be little worn but not sure. Was wondering if these could cause this.
The bearing in the strut worn
Shaft out of alignment although the boat runs smooth
The prop is causing this
The steering helm needs replaced although seems smooth
Thank you
