Volvo penta 4.3gl - SX M outdrive
At idle there is a loud knocking/clunking from the lower unit. I think it increased with speed when I rev'd in neutral in the driveway, but it was hard to tell. I can hear a similar knocking on the water when pulling a U turn.
I recently changed the lower unit oil and it was fairly clean. I have never removed an outdrive before, but from what I have read it sounds like it could be the U joint...in which case im out $500 if I do it myself. Sound like a U joint?
If so, how is the replacement? Can I do in a day or so (winter is coming)?
