Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum - a newbie boat builder. Nice to be here :) So far I've build two Aeronaut Divas (one for my dad) and in the process with an Aeronaut Jenny.
I was hoping for some advice. My previous two builds (the Divas) both suffer from sounding like a bag of spanners. I've just tested my current build - the Jenny - and it's sounding pretty much exactly the same. I'm bench testing and not under load - because I'm reluctant to glue everything in place, then get stuck with is as with the Divas.
The prop alignment seems to be good (not perfect) and I'm using a JP universal coupler. I've tried also adding a bit of marine grease to see if that helps but no joy / difference. It's very much a vibrational sound and pretty loud, not the sort of thing in align with the relaxing days boating I had in mind.
I've had a look at some posts on this forum but thought it might be helpful if I posted my specific issue to see if anyone spots anything obvious with the build.
There's a short video here:

Thanks,
