Could be bearings, chain drive, or reduction gear (depending on tranny). Only way is to take it apart. Note that due to short prop shaft lengths on V drives, they more susceptible to engine alignment problems. Those are usually output shaft seals and bearings.

Re: something let go!
o.k. , had the mechanic look at it today. so we started it up and in gear she went. no problems where noticed. thumping sound gone! hopefuly it was just a peice of debris that has freed it self from the shaft. i did notice a peice of blue camping matress foam floating beside the boat once we got it docked and things settled down.
cant wait to get her out again though, slowly ironing out the many problems we have had so far this year! thanks for the response!
