We have an early production 1983 Hunter 34 that has had driveshaft vibration since we first met it in 1997. We've installed four driveshafts, and replaced the prop with a three-bladed fixed to no avail. ccording to a variety of mechanics, the shaft alignment is fine, but a couple of hundred hours after it's been worked on, the vibration begins again. Presently we're on the ICW in Florida with, of course, vibration. I'm thinking motor (Westerbeke 21) mounts. If anyone has had this problem or has any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks, John Wilson Boxer34@pocketmail.com

Sorry for the confusion, but the address should be lower-case boxer34@pocketmail.com And we hope to get this old boat, but it is a Hunter, to the Bahamas.

Replaced engine motor mounts,cutlass bearing, checked strut for straitness and still have the problem.. I am having the drive staff replaced in the spring so hopefully that will do the trick.
