| my minn kota tm (V2 70#) has propeller vibration. Has anyone had this problem and did swapping the propeller for a new one fix it? Propeller shaft is straight. It vibrates a lot over 40% speed - my previous tm did not.
Thanks |

Location: Kentucky | I use a Kipawa prop on my Minn Kota and it helps tremendously with vibration and the abrupt jerking when first spinning up. Much much smoother operation although there is a cost of third blade which is obviously increased friction in the water causing a nominal amount of additional voltage. |

| Thanks guys. I am trying a new prop next week. I pondered the kipawa idea but I was afraid it might harm my motor in the long term. |

Location: Cleveland,Ohio | I have only had this happen when the pin gets bent. I always have a couple of spare pins available. |

| By pin do you mean the small pin that sticks thru the motor shaft that keeps the prop from slipping when thrust is applied? It is straight. Thanks. |
