bravo upper noise
Hi All,
I just got the boat out- been busy... I noticed the right drive while running on the muffs has a noise coming out of the upper- i checked the oil and there was very little metal on the magnet. the oil was still green. should I worry about this?
The left side made no noise and also had very little metal on the magnet but the oil was a darker color- almost black... what would cause this? it was changed at the beginning of last summer. prob has 60hrs on it.
Thanks in advance- Ryan

Could be any number of things including bearings. However the noise going away with RPMs (or load) leads me to believe it may be a lash/mesh problem. Check and make sure the pinion nut hasn't begun loosening up. I had one do just this.
