    Ultrex vibrations

    I have an ultrex 112 52" on a Nitro Z8. On settings 4 thru 6 the motor vibrates. I have replaced the prop and no change. Any ideas?

    Run it with the prop off and see if you get vibration or if the shaft wobbles.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    If it's "smooth" with the prop off, that "should" rule out a bent prop shaft. On one of my brand new Fortrex's, I had to replace the prop twice. Not sure if it was a bad batch, but I replaced the prop and installed a TH Marine Eliminator Prop Nut, and it was smooth after that. If you get the same vibrations with the prop off, you either have a bent prop shaft or something else going on.
