It could be reduced or even eliminated by "tightening" your rudder/tuller assembly with shims or bushings. Also consider a four-blade prop which is generally smoother and better balanced. My 2c.

Are you talking about prop wash? I bet you are. It is caused by the swirl the prop causes, is no cure that I know of.

The boat has probably always done this, but with the vibration of the
old engine, you would have never noticed.
On my boat the rudder/tiller assembly is quite 'loose'. I imagine at
certain prop speeds a resonance gets set up in the rudder/tiller system.
The prop is a 3 blader and it's behind a full keel.
