Trim Vibration?

[Silver/Fish]

At the dock I had the trim up more than I like...(Shallow water) and noticed a good vibration coming from the lower unit @ low rpm and neutral.. Minutes later in deeper water/ trim down etc. everything ran very smooth...Question: Should I be concerned with anything here?

Welcome aboard SilverFish.
If you have an inboard/outboard you should never run it with the drive lifted up more than normal trim..
It is very hard on the u-joints and gimble bearing.
You probably didn't hurt anything but i would keep an ear open for vibration or sounds from the drive.

I bet its ok..be careful not to do it again..

Thanks for the quick reply. I had the lower unit serviced this spring and they did check/lube etc. Joints and gimbal. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks again for the advise.

Sorry about the double post...Not used to the new format yet.
