Vibration

[raisingcanes]

I ran over a rope this weekend at 1000rpms. I noticed it soon after i ran it over and put the engine in neutral. As I continued home, i felt a vibration in the motor, which is a 275 Verado. The prop looks good, my next guess is a bent shaft. Any suggestions? Thanks

Could be a bent blade on the prop too. Is it stainless?

I would take the prop off and take it to a prop shop to have it checked, easy enough to do.

Hopefully that is your issue and not the shaft.

Have you pulled the prop yet? Could be some of that rope behind the prop. If there is none bring the prop to a prop shop to check the balance of it or you might have slipped the hub and need a new hub replacement, I keep a spare prop and hub kit on my boat and my spare hub kit does make my Verado vibrate I had hit some stumps with my old aluminum so this is likely the problem.

I doubt that you have bent a shaft or even a SS prop blade on some rope. But hey strange things do happen.
