What broke? Any ideas?
Looks like something is wrong w/ one of my outdrives.
Was about to run a poker run, opened to motor hatch while idling in gear and heard knocking. Troubleshooting - found out it is not the motor.
One of my drives knocks in forward. Put in neutral or reverse - it sounds fine. Back into fwd and the knocking occurs. The drive works; I ran back home 10 miles or so on plane 3500. After coming off plane - knocking was same - no worse.
What is the likely cause?

Check drive oil for contaminants. If lube is clean then you may have prop slap which is not a detrimental issue. Upgrade to a flo-torque type hub design. Not applicable to SSM'S if thats what your spinning.

It is not the props.

Pulled top cap - metal chips everywhere. Didn't dig any further.
Looks like front seal behind U-joint let go too. Leaks oil from there.
Off to get fixed . . . . . . .

Just went through this. Took a tooth clean off a gear in the upper and heard the ticking. Not too much for fragments in the oil, but broken piece did make it into the lower gears and put a mark in them.
New gears and bearings.
Quiet mufflers saved me from grenading the whole unit.
XR behind 950 hp. Lived 35 hrs. RIP!

Dropped the drive off w/ Excursion and he'll check them tonight.
