My sxr seems to have this vibration at wot, feels and sounds like someones touching my hull with a vibration sander, any idea what it could be? I noticed it alittle more after i leaned the high speed needles a bit,

Dampens the slop. In the drive shaft. There's usually an p-ring between the splines and the threads that the driveshaft bottoms out on.
Have you tried running it on the hose and see if it makes the noise? You can eliminate the pump and driveshaft by pulling the pump and sliding the shaft away from the motor if it does it while on the trailer.

On my 750 i put black rtv silicon in the impeller and when i pressed the driveshaft into it it oozed the rtv up through the splines, i let it dry before i ran it, then, i ran it all summer and when it was on the hose all you could hear was the exhaust, it completely eliminated the pump rattle, these kawi pumps dont spline very tight. I did the same on my sxr and i still have the rattle so i guess i didnt put enough in when i did it, im gunna try separating it and adding some more, if i reach my hand in the tunnel and grab the impeller it has alittle play on the shaft which my 750 didnt so im thinking maby the rtv settled weird and is causing the impeller to be off balance, which in turn would possibly be causing this vibration. And just a tip to anyone who does this, dont put alot of rtv because when you mate the shaft to the impeller , it is very hard to insert to push the thick rtv through the splines

And no i dont think it vibrates on the hose because it only happens at WOT, and i dont hold her open without it being in the water
