OMC Sterndrive Vibration at slow speeds

[asbennett]

Hi - Have a 1982 OMC 2.5L I/O with a Stringer outdrive. I have a vibration at slow speeds. This goes away at high speeds. Also I notice that the vibration is worse when turning left as opposed to right. The steering is also "stiff" to the left and less resistance to the right. The boat has OMC Tru-Course steering. Any ideas or test?

OMCStringer<br />You can adjust the motor trim tab to get steering equal in both directions. Vibration can be a bad motor mount. My motor had a bad vibration when taking off when the front engine mount where the trim motor is was bad.<br />Good Luck
