Hello all this is my first post here. First I would like to let any other newbies know where I found a manual for my boat. Boatinfo - boat brochures and manuals for boats and marine engines! It takes a while to download but I was able to find a service manual there for my boat and many others it is a great resource for anyone looking.
I have been working on a 1975 mercruiser 140 there is a ticking or rattle sound but I can not pin point its location. It only happens while in the water under a load. It is louder when it is under a greater load pulling a tube or skier. It does not make this noise at all while at home with the muffs on at idle or any rpm up to 3000 which is the highest I tried at home. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?
