At about 75-80% throttle with 2 people I can run anywhere between 18-20mph depending on the water,wind,etc.. At wot I can hear the engine rpms increase but no increase in speed on the gps. Also if I put my hand on the engine while running theres a high frequency vibration. You cant feel it from the tiller handle or just sitting in the boat so its not bad Im just worried this can cause some serious engine trouble in the future if I dont get it fixed. Does this sound like an unbalanced prop? When I first got this engine the prop was damaged badly and I straightened it the best I could myself and I have been planning on sending it off to a shop that does prop work so it will be right but I just noticed this vibration over the weekend and was hoping someone could confirm my suspicions. The engine is a 2 stroke 30hp tohatsu and its on a 16ft flat bottom jon boat with full dress,seats,lights,livewell,carpet,etc.. thanks.
