Brand New 2010 4.3 L with Alpha 1 Vibration

[badbradgraphics.com]

Hey Guys I a newbie to I/O's. Have a brand new 2010 Bayliner 19" with 4.3 and Alpha 1. Question is how much vibration should I feel when I turn left or right. I'm not talking about making extreme turns..I just feel and hear a vibration when turning left or right...lets say to the 2 oclock or 10 oclock position..its quite noticeable.....I guess, how smooth should it be...

Being the boat is a 2010, My recommendation would be for you is to try to schedule a test ride with someone from the dealership you bought the boat from, Have them meet you at a local lake to see if what you are feeling is going to be normal for that style boat or not.

Good luck with it.

Re: Brand New 4.3 with Alpha 1 Vibration

I recently spent several days on a 1996 Bayliner Cierra 2355 with a 5.7 and an Alpha 1. There was no noticeable vibration at any time other than the slight rumble from the engine (V8). Definitely no vibration in a turn.

This boat is older than yours, so would expect yours to be smoother, not the other way around!

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be happy if my new boat did that! If my new car vibrated in a turn, I'd take it back to the shop!!

Cheers,
