1998 Evinrude 175 bad shaking at 2500. Any help would be appreciated.

Was told it was the bent/beat up prop, I put a new one on. Shaft is straight and no gear issues. Then told it was the water pump. I put a new one on. There was some sand in the impeller area so I thought maybe that was the issue. Took it out last night and it does the same shaking at about 2500 rpm’s. When I first start it, I can get up to about 3500 rpm’s before it starts happening. Then it continues to do it around 2500. Shut it off, turn it on, it lets me hit 3500 again, but then shakes. Do you think it could be the fuel filter or fuel pump causing this? The motor mounts are solid also.

What are new versions of old saying?

Like “You’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’” would be an old saying.
Or “smooth move X-lax”

Do you think it’s possible an Orkin rep could have left rats on my property?

I know it sounds crazy. We’ve been on this property for 22 years and have NEVER seen a rat. Nice for sure. About a month ago an Orkin man came calling and asking if we have or need pest control. We said we sprayed in our basement and other locations ourselves and didn’t really see the need. 2 weeks ago he stops by again and see if we changed our minds and that he would give us a free quote and whatnot. He left. The next day I found 2 rats on our property. One was right outside our back door and the other was right in front of the gate to our back yard. Like, too perfectly placed in my mind. We do have cats that roam around here and we see them with mice from time to time, but in all this time I’ve never seen a rat. Is this coincidence or something nefarious? Do you think they would do this? Or have you heard of anything like this?
