hello I have a spade hung rudder on a 38 foot catamaran and at 1500 - 2500 rpms I get a noticable rudder tap and vibratio. The rudder has synthetic or plastic type caps for wear protection. The rudder is secured by a steel coller ring on top. When I run at 3000 rpms the vibration become minimal but still noticeble. Any thoughts.

Prop wash

If your prop is forward of the rudder, its prop wash or turblance from the water comming off the prop.............
