Hi guys<br /><br />I had the boat out for a run yesterday, the motor ran well throughout the trip but noticed on the way back in i noticed a small amount of vibration going through the rest of the boat that was not there before, could this be a fouled spark plug ow could it be something more serious,any information given is really appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks in advance<br /><br />Eddy

Yup, It could.<br />Send it out for Recon, ( reconditioning ).<br />This will bring the blade back to its original size and pitch. Most importantly, it will be spun balance. An out of balance prop can cause your vibration but more importantly, will cause excelarated wear and tear on the bearings, guids, seals, etc..<br /><br />Recon. usually cost arond $50 U.S..<br />Much cheaper than a lower unit rebuild.<br /><br />Hope this helps.
