I have 1994 195 Sundowner. Recently, I have noticed a vibration that appeared infrequently. I found the vibration the other day when I was at an idle and turned the steering wheel to the left. The steering pump is full of fluid. I can not identify where the vibration is coming from. |

I wonder if this can be caused by the engine being slightly out of alignment? |

Was the outdrive up or down when you were turning? Vibrations when turning are often caused by worn u-joints. |

A small amount of uni joint vibration is normal. How much you have compared to normal, is the million dollar question! |

Have you ever had a lower unit service? (lower unit pulled off , checked , alignment checked, Gimble bearing check, U - joints checked). I would recommend having it done just to make sure. Losing a u-joint would not be a fun time. I had mine checked out this year and it only ran me $160.00. Money well spent , peace of mind. |

The out drive is in the down position. The vibration is definitely not normal. I have not had the lower unit services in quite a while. Sounds like it may be time. thank you for the feedback. |

Yep. We do it once a year here in the salt pond or else. The weekend after I winterize the boat the drive comes off and I check out the bellows, gimble bearing, u-joints, input shaft seal, etc. One of the best things I ever bought was an outdrive jack. Makes it a lot easier. |
