I notice a lot of vibration when idling. It is very noticeable on my electronics looking at side imaging - jerky images. I can feel the vibration through the steering wheel. The boat is nearing the end of the initial break in period.
When I get on plane and trim up the vibration is greatly diminished.
Could this be because the 150 4 stroke is a 4 cylinder versus 6 cylinder?
My old boat had 2008 250 ProXS and it didn't vibrate much, if any at idle speeds.

There is a bit more perceived vibration, as this is a completely different, larger displacement, FOURSTROKE engine.
