Hey All,
My boat isn't a V-Drive but I figured you could give me a good answer anyhow! I recently bought two 2003 MB Sports 190 Plus ski boats at a bank repo auction (I had to buy both, they would not separate). I don't really know much about boats. One had a blown motor when I bought it so I replaced the old 5.0 Chevy with a Fast Burn 400 SBC crate motor with the help of AZ speed and marine. I plan to keep this one and sell the other. Anyway, I took it out last weekend and had a blast in the boat, it's freakin' great! This weekend I start to get a vibration at about 4000 rpms and the motor is good for at least 6000 easy. Could the small dings in the prop be the source of the vibration or not?

I have checked everything else, the shaft is straight, all the bearings are good, etc.
Thanks!

It should be. That ding should be very noticeable when running.

yes the prop is a problem. did you check the run out of the shaft???

keep a close eye on that under water gear - spinning at 6000 with that prop could be trouble
