I have a recent SO 409 , while motoring the cockpit table vibrates quite a lot to a point where the noise gets very annoying and louder than the engine itself. I have the plastic version of the table with a B&G nav system on top (which does not help either). It seems to be inherent to the bracket and the entire structure of the table, not only the flaps. It does not do it on all rpms but still way too often to be tolerated. Has anyone seen the same problem? Any good ideas about how to fix it?
Thank you.

I did some investigation and the vibrations seem to be generated by the sail drive and most likely the propeller. Has anyone experienced such problems with folding propellers? |

Is the propellor dirty? As this can cause vibrations.

Yes the reason of the vibration could be the propeller with a wrong balance.
