Have your prop reconditioned.  Same happened to me.  Heard it at certain RPM's.  If you haven't had your prop reconditioned in a while, it's probably a good idea to do it anyway.  Try this first, then if it still happens, you'll need to look at other possibilities.

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping it could be something as simple as reconditioning the prop. This boat is new to me. I know the prop was changed once. I am considering going to a three (3) blade prop next season. I want to run the two (2) blade for a season so I have something to compare it to.
Thanks again for the reply.
