Boat shakes under load

[Eric311]

When I tried to pull tubers the other day once I pushed the throttle down I would start going and then the boat would start shaking. Any idea why. I had the boat out twice and had no problems. Would it be cavatation or could it be something else

You need to check the pumps and impellers. Sounds like you sucked up something.

I looked at the impeller and couldn’t see anything. I’ll have to try the pumps.

 

[Eric311]

I can not see anything that I might have sucked up. I tried to take it out today and as soon as I took off it started shaking. Could it be a bearing

I would also check your engine mounts to make sure none are broken.
Are the engines running fine, maybe only running on 1 cylinder?

 

[Eric311]

Engine runs in idle until I went to take off then it started shaking. I couldn’t even get to plane out. I’m going to start taking the back apart and see if I might have something stuck in there I can’t see

 

[Eric311]

Took the back end apart and pulled out a little seaweed. Could that really cause the shaking.

You would be surprised. I once thought I lost a cylinder but it turns out it was a piece of wood in the pump the size of a #2 pencil.
