Vibration

I recently replaced the shaft and bushing. I carefully followed the alignment procedures gracefully givin in the forum (Thanks to all). I now have some vibration at low speeds. The vibration lessens as I gain speed. I am concerned about damaging the Transmission if I don't figure out where the vibration is coming from. I have not yet had the prop looked at. I plan on replacing in the next couple of weeks for a 4 blade. I was so concerend that I re-did the alignment procedure again. It seems to be tight with no gaps.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,

Mark,
When you did the alignment, did you turn the shaft to check for a bent shaft forward of the strut? This is where you look for the gap between the coupling halves to follow as the shaft is rotated. Aft of the strut, you need to use a dial indicator on the prop taper.

How's the prop?

ha, another guy who spells becasue like me, I always have to go back and change that one..
you dropped something on your foot and had knee surgery?? enough said?

Ok you installed a new prop shaft, did you re-use the old coupling or get a new one? if you used the old one did you have the face trued to the new shaft?

Yes,

Thanks

Sorry for the miss-posting.

The transmission is bad. Any suggestions regarding rebuilding or replacing. Are they hard to get rebuilt? expensive? Are replacements hard to find?

Thanks,

For some reason my profile was not recognized any more. I had to re-up. I'm in Tennessee.

Thanks,
