Oscillation in wheel

[shaw520]

1990 SR 280 twin 5.0's

Sometimes while maneuvering at idle, I get a left to right oscillation in my wheel,... I thought maybe a prop was out of balance, but the oscillation continues even after I slip into neutral,... hmmm ,...drive shaft ? U-joint ?

Do you have CCW & CW props or just 2 CW props installed ? The oscillation occurs when lightly, medium light or heavily loaded ?

Happy Boating

Just (2) CW's ,... this oscillation only occurs under zero load

Sometimes a deep V will wander at no wake speed.
Needs getting used to it
