I have 15 year old trolling motor that was never used untill recently. The first 6 trips it worked fine. Last time out I noticed a pronounced vibration at any thing other than a minimal load. With the motor dry the vibration is not there. Also the shaft appears to be straight. My thought is that the prop is bad. I'm leaning toward an aluminum prop. Before I buy it I want to be sure that the prop is the problem.<br /><br />I have another Motor Guide of the same make that I have used regularly in saltwater for 18 years with no problems.<br /><br />Any guidence would be appreciated.<br /><br />Greg

i dont like aluminum props if you hit somthing you will bend the shaft for sure. stay with the plastic ones.
