I didn't know the 34 came with a tiller option.  My 1978 34 had a wheel, as
does every other 34 I've ever seen (about a half dozen or so).  Interesting.

 

Given that the wobble corresponds to RPMs, I would not guess it's a tiller
or rudder grease issue.  I'm no expert, but it sounds more like a prop shaft
strut or cutless bearing issue.  Did you by chance have a dock line sucked
into your prop before the vibration started?

My 1980 34 C&C has a tiller that wobbles excessively when running with
engine at 3,000 rpm.  A cursory inspection does not show any adjustment or
easy bearing replacement.  All bolts are tight. There is some slack, maybe
1/8" when testing the tiller by moving back and forth at the dock. Has
anyone else experienced this?  Is there a known easy solution short of
replacement?  Should I be concerned.  This seems to have gotten worse over
the years.
