Brayden,
Went through this 2 years ago re-prop change,did nothing. Sought pro help last year. Problem was getting worse and probably will. The teeth or shaft was "off round" about 1/1000 in. It was milled, rebuilt and the problem went away, cleaning mine alone wouldn't have helped. Good luck on self repair and report back. Couple guys on our site are very skilled machinists/glass guys
but I don't think I could pull off some of the repairs listed here myself without making a mess. Also
why you running at 1500rpm? I'm no expert but I've been told that running a diesel at essentially 1/2 cruising is terrible for it. The 2GM. lists 1hr max. at 3600, extended cruise at 3400. Diesel guy in our area recommends cruising 3000 to 3200 and if just "kicking" to and from racing to "firewall" it both ways.
