What kind of engine do you have that runs at 10 RPMs? You can turn the wheel faster then that by hand. If you were talking about higher RPMs I would say the wheel is out of balance or one of the blades is bent.

Well, I assume that you mean 1000 RPM since 10 RPM is barely turning the prop over.
If you have an inboard engine with a shaft driven prop you could have a bent prop, a bent shaft or a failing bearing. If you have a jet boat or an outboard then you will have to ask the question with more details.

Is the vibration at 10 rpms while you are in drive or just revving at 10 while sitting still?. This could be a number of things, however I would take a close look at the prop and see if it is bent, any variation in the prop can cause vibration. good luck.

Impossible to answer question with information provided,but a damaged prop would be a strong likelihood,I'm sure you didn't mean the RPM you indicated.

bad prop did some one hit something like a log or get into shallow water and bottomed out.
