How much vibration is common?

I've wondered this too...

I get a vibration when the boat is idling in forward with the steering wheel/rudder turned all the way to one side (doing a hairpin turn/doughnut). Is this caused by water turbulence shaking the rudder? Am I the only one that gets this? is this bad? It doesn't vibrate at any other time while under way.

Have you ever hit something? Have you checked your alignment?

When buying a replacement prop, just get the same size if you have no complaints about performance. The size will be stamped on the hub somewhere.

That is probably turbulence, and is OK.
