Thanks and yes I have 4 rubber mounts which you should be able to see under my photos. I didn't spend too much time in the alignment stages just made it connect to the coupler. My atomic four also had a vibration (although not as bad) so I'm wondering if the prop shaft is bent or not balanced.

This is what I observed with my iPhone gps 5.4mph(4.6knts) @70amps. 50amps produced 4.5 mph. Battery consumption for the time the motor was on used 22ah.
