I am hoping someone could give me some advice as a lot of knowledgable people locally are stumped with my situation.
So, I have a 2006 Chaparral 235 SSi, and as seen above has a Mercruiser 350 MAG MPI with a Bravo 3 drive. I put the boat in a few weeks ago and noticed a significant vibration at just about all speeds above idling.
The thing is, the vibration is only felt when I turn the steering wheel RIGHT. Driving in a straight line or turning left I have no issues. No issues in reverse as well.
Neither the outdrive or props have ever been removed. The only thing I have done from the time I pulled the boat and winterized for the winter last year and putting it in this year is top off the power steering fluid and grease the fitting on the right of the drive at the transom. Could not find grease fittings in the engine compartment on drive shaft, etc. Outdrive oil is full, engine oil is full.
Again, what is puzzling is the props/drive have never been removed and I am only getting a vibration in one direction, right, and at higher speeds. There are no marks on the props/drives from hitting anything, the props seem to be indented fine.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
