I have a new fortrex 112 on a new boat. I noticed it has significant amount of vibration felt through the pedal and gets worse at higher speed. I never had any vibration with my 101 on my previous boat. Any ideas?

Could be many things: bent shear pin, bad prop, prop out of balance, water in lower unit, bent prop shaft will all give vibration.

It's brand new. Is there anyway to identify If it's a prop issue?
Take the prop off and see if it still vibrates

Significant difference with the prop off. Minnkota is sending me a new prop. Thanks
Mine is doing the same thing. Did the new prop help?

It helped at lower speeds and lessened it at 100, but it still vibrates at 100, but I only noticed it in the water with the new prop. The 101 on my previous boat didn't vibrate.
