Sounds like a spun prop hub.

I think John is right,but if the prop is sucking to much air it will do that too,learned that from adjusting the manual jack plate on my little boat.

this is how i fixed it. now a couple of seconds and see is on plane. yes it is homemade and yes im cheap.
this was just to see if i needed a 50 dollar stingray but it worked so good that im leaving it on.

Looks good to me too  :thumright:

Doesn't look cheap. Looks "stealthy". Bet it doesn't show up on enemy radar, either....
