A New Vibration

[larry richey]

new to me--22ft tunnel center console---first time out--started & ran fine---the engine (200 hp jonnie) has a hydrofoil Or cavatation plate that was already mounted---Shallow Blaster--fiberglass big plate---powered up fine --but i felt this vibration i've never felt with other V6s before---wondered if the prop push was hitting the plate because it extends so far to the back---guess i'm looking for others who have either felt a vibration with a similar plate or do i need to look elsewhere---feel it in the boat not the steering---hyd steer---

I would remove the hydrofoil and see" what you got?"

Me too. Best way to know if it is or isn't part of the problem.
