I was out cruising this afternoon and while doing about 25 mph we felt a pretty good shudder and the speed decreased. I put it in neutral and checked the engine compartment and v drive but there were no evident issues. Gauges were all good, temp, oil pressure.
I don't think we hit anything. Depthsounder still said 43 ft.
We carried on our way and it did not happen again.
Has anyone else experienced this?
New to us 2006 mobius lsv.
Thanks

Maybe caught weeds around the prop?

I had a crack a few years back in one of my prop fins (don’t know why) that did similar thing till it flew off or your shaft could be bent from an small strike guys will tell you to check your alignment on your prop shaft to

Thanks for the responses.
We took it out the next day and had no issues.
I will have a look at the prop and drive shaft this weekend.
