    Ultrex Vibration

    Minn Kota Ultrex has a bad vibration on 8 to 10 setting. It is not noticeable at lower speeds. Shaft is not bent. Any ideas what it could be?

    Prop out of balance?

    is this a new motor?

    You didn't hit anything?

    Try pulling the prop and rotating it 180 degrees and reinstall

    Cannot get the prop off, no matter how hard I force it. That tells me the shear pin must be bent. I bought this boat used, so I cannot speak for the history. However, there are no signs of impact on the prop or foot that tells me he hit anything.

    I just went through this with mine..was a bent prop shaft. I had to pull the prop and spin the shaft to see it.

    The prop will come off. Try to beat it off with a hammer. this may break the blades. if it does than you will have to cut it off. Anther thing that might work is a wheel puller a big bearing puller. I had to cut several off because the hammer trick did not work. when you take the prop off you should be able to tell if the prop shaft is bent.
