Any number of problems can cause a boat to vibrate, and any of them, if left unattended, can cause serious damage to a vessel. A bent wheel, shaft, rudder, or rudder shoe can cause vibration, but these problems are fairly easy to spot and correct. A process of elimination may lead to the conclusion that the misalignment of the main engine with the propeller shaft is causing the vibration. If this problem is not corrected, serious damage to the clutch can result. Realignment of the engine is not overly complicated, but it is time-consuming and does require a great deal of patience. The procedures described are applicable to large commercial craft only.
