Ok. So I got a little too close to the bank Saturday and my prop was torn up. About an inch or so per blade was ripped off. Sounded like it hit rocks. I was at a marina and am quite sure that's what was in the water. Sounded bad, but I had prop replaced while I was there. Mechanic said the shaft was not bent. He put a brand new prop and whatever is behind the prop. When the boat is in neutral, and the prop is not turning, there is a definate vibration from the engine now. When I put in in gear, forward or reverse, it's hardly noticeable. But in neutral it's pretty bad, compared to no viration at all before. I assume it is something between the outdrive and engine. I am mechanically inclined and have built many car engines but am not sure what to look for on this. It's a 1994 Stingray. 4.3 litre Mercruiser. All original equipment with 285 hours on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
