Maybe someone has an ideal about this?
I have a 1998 Larson with a 3.0L Volvo Cobra SX I/O 4 cyl engine. When you start the boat there is a loud squeal that gets even noisier when the throttle is pushed down. Eventually the squeal goes away after a few minutes of operation. Something a bit unusual, when the boat is in operation, if you hit the trim button up or down at a low speed, the squeal comes back and then goes away the minute you take your finger off the trim. I have had a few people tell me that it is the circulator pump that is causing the squeal, I have replaced the raw water pump last year so I know thats not it. My father thinks it may be a belt issue but, it sounds way too loud to me, sounds like a bad bering somewhere. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
