sounds like theres a duck in my engine compartment

[jmarines]

Does anyone have any idea on what and where I should be looking to see what the cause of this is?

Yep. Sounds like a duck. Narrow it down. Where isn't it coming from? Water pump? Alt? Power Steering?

 

[GA_Boater]

Use a stethoscope or long screwdriver to your ear and try to narrow it down. Pop off the belt(s) to see if it's a driven accessory.

Other suspects are gimbal bearing and the outdrive.

Remove the belts and retest , maybe a electric fuel pump going bad/ Definitely a rotating issue of some type

I was thinking electric fuel pump also.

 

[Bondo]

Ayuh,... Sounds like a belt chirp to me,...

Actually it sounds like a goose. ound:

Alright, I think it sounds like a bearing going or a slipping of a clutch type sound. Is there anything that uses a clutch or bearing in the driver section?

Yer sure it isn't a duck?


In all seriousness, pull the v-belts and fire up for a few. Sounds like an alternator to me. Make sure you have the muffs running water to the impeller so you don't cook that.

Pulled the belt off and the sound was still there.. It does not go away when I idle up to around 1200 rpms.. The sound just gets faster

With sound still present and no belts on the motor, that leaves either the front end - timing chain or harmonic balancer rubbing, or back end flywheel housing. Take a couple foot long wooden dowel and hold it against your ear and different spots on the motor to assist in isolating where the noise is from.
