Default 2003 Mercury 70hp lower end noise

At idle or low rpms, there is a vibration and noise coming from the lower end. It almost seems as if the drive is sliding in and out of gear. When running at higher rpms 2000 or more, the engine and lower unit seems fine -- no noise or vibrations.

Thanks for any help.

yes, I just purchased this boat from a private sale. Called the previous owner and he did not notice the noise/vibration. The prop is a 3 blade ss. I don't see any nicks or damage to the prop.

Thanks!!!
