funky growling noise / vibration very minute
 

Well this one has me perplexed.

I first noticed it last weekend at LOTO. on my port motor I have a slight growl / vibration, do not knwo how to best describe it. I can only hear / feel it when I have the captains call off as it is very slight.

It is the same in forward and reverse and does not appear to change with rpm, just on or off depending if the motor is in gear or not.

Any thoughts, ideas etc

Gimbal bearing???

I just want to make sure it is nothing dramatic before I pull down to the shootout.

THANKS :cool-smiley-011:

Probably gimble bearing. Also you may have shot U joints that accentuate a bad bearing. Dont forget to check your U joint bellow. If they cracked or ripped & let water in It probably smoked the bearing & possibly the U joints.. ;) Jamie / Lakeside
