1989 US Marine Ski Challenger ski boat with 351 Ford engine. Hit the prop a couple of years ago on some wood in the water. Buggered up the prop but not real bad looking. Could not be driven over 1,200 rpm due to vibration.
Got a new to me prop in good condition and most of the vibration s gone but still not back to normal.
Could this be the motor and shaft need to be aligned? It's never been aligned since from the factory.
Or the packing on the shaft needs to be redone. It is original.
Or could the new/used prop be just not that great even though it looks good.
Thanks a ton!
