Default Steering Vibration 23 SF Inboard

The boat is a new purchase for me. While running any speed on plane I get a vibration, and audible groan turning to the left.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any help.

I would check the rudder shaft and/or rudder shaft bushings.

hey fr. frank,

How about checking the shaft for true and the cutlass bearng at the strut. Might have caught a line and bent the shaft or even the rudder skeg got whacked along the way? just my 2 cents.

Excellent idea. I got caught up in the turn to the left.
