Post GATOR TAIL VIBRATION
Any body has trouble with there motor vibration very bad threw the rpm range its not a constant vibration the boat is new with 4 hrs on it brought back to gatortail said nothing was wrong with it.. I road in plenty of gatortail that didn't have that much vibration. And for the smart ass people out there no shit they will have vibration.

Trim up some more....or maybe you are trimmed up too far and you just got a light tiller.

The pin is the second one and prop half in the water. I was in it with no load I think i might take the motor off and but a rubber gasket on the outside of the transom the boat is noisy with vibration too

Does it do it all the time or just in gear? Did you pull the reverse cover to eliminate the clutch or rev ?

Mine vibrates when cruising, just figured it was normal. It doesn't resonate through the hull though

Pop the cover off the clutch and see if anything looks like it is warped. A good visual of how everything operates will give you a better idea how to diagnose it.
