Richard (s/v Eagle's Wings C350 #37),I have not yet seen any input to the suggested survey in this forum. Did you see any on Sailnet? It was a great idea to survey C350 owners in conjunction with Catalina's current efforts to determine the cause(s) of vibration noise on this model. Catalina is currently investigating if it is a prop issue, packing gland, cutlass bearing, cavitation, harmonic resonance, other. Any input C350 owners can provide which may assist in this effort will be forwarded to Gerry Douglas and Frank Butler at Catalina. If you are a C350 owner please advise if you have:1. Vibration Noise Problems (Yes / No).2. Dripless Packing Gland (Yes / No).3. Prop Type (3 Blade, 2 Blade, Other).4. Keel Type (Wing or Fin).5. Boat Trim (Anything altering the fore / aft trim).Any other info you may wish to provide.Thanks,B. DehuffC350 #116
