| We were coming back from a regatta, under main sail only, doing 7.5 knots and a noise or vibration came from under the boat, anybody else have that happen? Only happens over 7 knots. |

Your propeller is free-wheeling.... put you saildrive in gear before you turn your engine off to sail, this will keep the blades closed and prevent the prop from turning
