Hello.
I have a VP 5.0 GXi-E and DPS duo prop and whilst cleaning yesterday I noticed a tiny bit of play on rotation, about a CM or so before take up if that makes sense, Also I was out today with about 2 foot waves and going with the wave rather than against it, It felt like a very laboured rough running not smooth, is that quite normal with chop? I tried different trim positions but it still felt very laboured and felt like bogging down. Engine runs fine with no misfires or roughness and has new platinum plugs, unfortunately I don't get flat water where I am so can't judge wether its just being in chop that is causing it.
Regards
