My 1999 Pilot 30 had a 4 blade 21 x 21 prop and turned 2600 RPM and vibrated a lot. Tried alignment and had prop balanced and repitched to 21 x 24. Still vibrates but tops out at 2450 and plus 2.5 knots top end. If someone has put a 5 blade on an older Pilot it
would be great to hear about vibration. I know newer models due have 5 blade props standard but also have a different prop tunnel shape.
