I took this up to the dealer and a few of us looked at it on a jig
they have. Nobody could see anything wrong. I think I am just going to
put it back on..

Usually when one of my props needs work you can clearly see the
problem. :-)
Yeah I know and when I was looking at it on the boat, I thought I saw
a bent blade but once you got a good angle on it, they look the same.
After I got home I set it on a granite counter and started measuring
with a dial indicator, looking at the leading edges and trailing edges
of the blades at various points and it seems to be OK.
Now I am back looking for the mystery vibration.
I was out again today and it may still be there but less with the
lighter prop ... or it is the same and I was just wishing I was going
to fix something.
I also figured out it sounds worse because there is something in there
with a resonant buzz. I leaned on the top cover with no joy.
The problem is I can't run the boat and play with the motor looking
for the noise. My wife just wants to ride ;-)
I am going to take the cover off and poke around tomorrow. She can
either drive or sit there and watch the crash.
