Ran the motor this past weekend and notice a vibration at about 2700 rpms Has anyone had the issue before and is it something that needs checking out? Motor has 11 hrs.  |

Was this just before breaking onto plane?
I will try to pay attention to mine the next time I put it in the water.
Are you a member of the Verado Club? This would be a good question for the experts there since all of them have Verados. The membership fee I paid there was some of the best money I have spent on my boat. I saved the fee alone buying oil & filter for SIM who I would have never known about otherwise.

My 175 has a slight vibration starting at around 1500 rpm (I think), but settles out quickly as I accelerate. I have heard others mention the same thing. I don't know if it's just the 4 cylinders or if all Verados have this, but you can find out at the Verado Club website.

All 4 cylinder 4 stroke outboards have *some* vibration in the 1000-1500 RPM range. They have no balancing the way the 6 cylinder outboards do.
Hull differences can affect this. Also, prop choice can make a big difference. It did for me on my 150 Verado. The factory supplied Mirage was the worst. Currently I am running a 16 pitch Enertia and there is a world of difference in reducing vibration and steering torque.

Cap1 Great to hear from you. Where did you get your prop and if you don't mind what was the cost? |

I've got a V150... it only has a slight vibration at idle speed (sub 1000 rpm). Once above 1000, it's smooooooth as silk. Running a 17P Mirage Plus.
