Hi, I have a 2005 Stingray 195LS with the 4.3 Volvo Penta with SX drive. 110 hours. End of season last year, there was a "knocking type noise" at idle from engine/drive area. Dealer where purchased said it was gimble bearing. Replaced gimble bearing. Then we had vibration on straightaways really bad in floor, but if we trimmed up some, it mostly went away, but on turns, vibration was really bad. They replaced the whole driveshaft assembly. We winterized and did not try afterward.
This year we took it out, and same vibrations. Took it to another boat place. They said it needed a gimble bearing again!! We had to replace it again. Took it out, and vibration still there. Took it back and they said they need to replace u-joints. So we paid to have the u-joints replaced again. Vibration still there now.
HELP!!!
Problem is this, when at 3/4 to full throttle and trim all the way down, strong vibration you can feel and hear through the boat. Trim up some and it goes away some, but still there. No matter where the trim is on turns, bad vibration and it gets worse the more you turn.
The dealer says the alignment was checked and Gimble and u-joints replaced, but no difference. What can be going on?
Thanks!
