Been out to Parker this weekend having a great time staying in Moovalya Keys.
I noticed that when I load the boat down with 1500 or more pounds (+ passengers) I get a bad steering vibration ONLY when getting out of the hole with this amount of load (mainly port side loading). Turning the boat CCW seems much harder too. It does not vibrate once at wake surfing speeds.
I have driven at all different speeds without the weight and experience no issues. I will be pulling the boat out tomorrow to ensure no prop/shaft damage has occurred but I highly doubt it given the specific scenarios above. I have been very careful with staying away from the north side of Moovalya keys where there are sandbars.
I strongly believe I am experiencing prop cavitation with the stock 537 prop and am considering changing to the 1939 prop I bought a few months ago.
Does this sound like a solid conclusion?
