George/Everyone,
I wrong in saying this is the exact nature of folding propellers? If you change speeds or when you first begin moving in gear the blades are not fully opened and tend to vibrate very strongly?

My prop has done exactly what you mentioned since I've owned the boat (7 years). We remedy it by changing speeds very quickly (slow-to-fast).

If I really need to stop vibration and maintain forward motion, I throw it into reverse then back into forward again. I don't do it alot since it probably isn't good for the transmission, but it stops the vibration every time.
