Default Alpha one clicking when manually spinning prop??

i have a 94 29 ft scarab with twin 350 and alpha one drives. The boat is new to me and i walked by it the otherday on the trailer and spun the props. The on spins and makes no noise the other one makes a clicking sound and if you spin it the other way its even louder?? i checked the fluids and no major metal chunks or anything like that both had real real fine shavings but im told thats normal. This was again on the trailer with units all the way up. i didn't have time to lower them and see if that made a difference. Any ideas??

You could probably adjust the shift cable a little to make it stop clicking. It's not perfectly in neutral.

Should be able to have somebody turn the prop for you and use the barrel adjustment at the end of the cable (where it connects to the shift linkage inside the boat) and see if that clears it up, probably doesn't need much adjustment at all
