 Unbalanced prop?
Bought a new prop and I think it isn't balanced. The bearings are squealing when I let off the gas, loosing a bit of grease out of the upper seal, and there is a bit of vibration. Does this happen often? When I put the old prop back on these problems go away. What do you guys think?

 Re: Unbalanced prop?
It's a 24hp longtail, and an aftermarket 9x7. Just took the prop off and put it on a socket wrench extension in a vise and one blade is consistently dropping I guess i'll have to make a call on Tuesday. Get a new prop on Friday before Memorial day weekend and it's phuckin' useless, great.
