Jerry,

It could be related tot he cutlass bearing.  I have had this replaced 3
times over the last 18 years on Dawn Treader.  I also had a drive saver
installed for the Autoprop and it saves on wear and tear with the engine.

Once given more throttle it works itself out. Does not do it when slowing
down from higher speed, only in early acceleration. Mechanic is convinced
the alignment is correct. Says he thinks part of the problem is the motor
mounts Yanmar uses, allowing for too much movement of the motor. Any
thoughts or similar experience anyone can share is appreciated.
