I was looking at a 1991 150hp pro v to buy and i noticed that it had a little movement side to side probably less than an eigth of and inch but most other props i have grabbed had no movement i rode in the boat and it runs fine and doesn't seem to vibrate at idle is this something to be concerned with ? it has a stainless prop

Re: prop wobble

I'm not a expert, but I dont think the prop should wobble like that. Bent prop shaft?, bad bearing? Check the LU for water intrusion. All the boats I've ever messed with, the prop shaft didnt wobble.
