Need some help here guys, I will the best I can to describe.
1. When I put the boat in reverse all it does is grind and the prop hardly turns. Doesn't matter what throttle is at just grinds.
2.When the motor is running I hear a knocking noise but its not crazy loud but loud enough to notice. Does this mean that my engine is knocking or could it be the oil pump, I heard form a friend that the older oil pumps make a knocking noise. Knocking is slow at low throttle and gets faster with more throttle.
3. Where is the temp sending unit located. Not sure if it is the gauge or the unit but my gauge doesn't work.
4. Sometimes when I start the boat it will make the whole boat shake like crazy but at higher throttle it seems to balance itself out the let off throttle and it is fine at idle.
Any info on any of these issues would be greatly helpful
