Ok, this is my first boat so I am kinda fumbling my way through the repairs. My boat is an '83 Galaxy 19' b/r. It has the AQ225d/AQ280. I took delivery of the boat first weekend in november, and thanks to the mild weather we had in pa in november, i was able to take her out for a ride. While underway, i noticed a vibration. I assumed it would be u-joints. Well, a month later, i finally had the time to pull the outdrive. I was expecting a nasty rusty blob that were to be the u-joints, only to find very clean u-joints, that move smoothly with no notchiness. There was no water in the bellow, but there was some gear oil in the bellow. I inspected the splined shaft, and tried to wiggle it. There was no play what so ever. I did a search here for vibration, and came up with nothing that applies to me, hence my post. Another question i have is: Is the AQ225D a 305 or 307. I cant seem to find the answer in my seloc manual. Just a curiouocity thing.
