A long shot here as most folks don’t have a lot of hours on their engines but was wondering if anyone has had to inspect or replace the damper plate or the rubber inserts on the D1-30. I have been noticing a bit more vibration lately. I don’t necessary see it on the engine but can feel it through the hull. Engine mounts and alignment are good and prop is clean etc. Searches on other forums say that the rubber inserts on the damper plate can start to show signs of wear at 2500-3000hrs and cause higher vibrations. I’m just over 3500hrs. Note: Engine is running is low RPM’s 80-90% of the time trolling.
