I replaced the cutlas bearing 2 seasons ago, so it is in good shape. I know the prop needs a rebuild, but I have been thinking I would be happier with a geared folding prop. Only thing is I do not have the money for a new prop. I think Martec will rebuild these for about $200. I saw one that had been rebuilt and it looked like new. I think if I wanted to really eliminate all my vibrations I would need a new shaft as well as a new/rebuilt prop. Of course it could all be due to engine alignment. In spite of the fact that all the experts say it is the first thing to do, I have not been able to force myself to re-align the engine. I think I am afraid that if I open that can of worms I will end up buying new motor mounts and a shaft saver and ..... mo money. Thanks for the inputs. |
