Vince, Grat videos! I have a 98-centurion wave and she slips when driving in gear on the lake. Any directions?

I hear what sounds like the damper plate problem but its only noticeable when out of water and using fake a lake. If i put boat in gear, out of water, I can hear the clanging noise, but in water it is not noticeable. Maybe because of resistance in water? Today at 40mph i heard a random clanking noise in the back. It was sporadic but every few seconds. If i slowed down some to say 30mph, no noise.

respectfully suggest were here to learn about a DAMPER PLATE and those of us capable of this job dont need the nuts/bolts on pulling a battery cable or starter. Damper plate issues please! Thanks for your video.

Vince, between my DAF615 engine and the Paragon transmission there's a damper plate. The springs are loose and rattlely after 34years when the boat was built. What wouldn't be best to do?

[@bird.1980]

Do you have an estimate for a damper plate on a '97 gt40?
