vibrations on starboard side

[shore1]

i posted this hoping to get some advise i ran into some low water and kicked up some mud .
i started to notice that when i power up my starboard side would start to vibrate,,, at 3200 rpm it seem to stop
im pulling the boat out of the water this weekend to look at the prop and shaft,,, any advise ???

I think you are where you need to be.......something is obviously bent and the best way to find it is to get the boat where you can see the running gear.

One tip is that many yards will hold a screw driver up to a shaft and pronounce, "Yep, she's bent" or "Looks good". A shaft can have some runout and not vibrate and the only way to tell is to measure the runout with a dial indicator.....remember you are looking for about .005" at the prop end of the shaft.

Pulled the Boat out we turned the the prop on the port side and the shaft it had a slight wobble in it ,, the props also need to be reconditioned , Boating on the New Jersey Shore
we always have watch out for low water, the dead tree sticks we have as markers are not always thats reliable , but i still love boating here ...
i noticed that the mud keeps the props nice and shinny .. but i must have power up hard in low water and bang the port side hard into the ground

thanks for your reply
