Thanks. I have never greased it (5 yrs) and I doubt the prior owner did. Sounds like a good place to start. How did you install the zerk fitting?

If that doesn't resolve wobble, then inspect rudder for irregularities, cutless bearing and shaft, propeller, etc. He'll have to haul boat for all that. Could look at shaft, coupler, and seal from inside boat. Maybe watch from down below while someone drives at 3000 rpm?

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?

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.
