Hey all, I have a 21' 1994 Seaswirl Striper W/A with the Ford Volvo 5-liter 2-barrell carb, and OMC Cobra (SX?) outdrive. Took it for a spin and developed a noise coming from the transom area. Sounds like a bearing going bad.
-the noise is related to engine RPM
-the noise is NOT related to FWD or Reverse, makes no difference and shifting is not a problem
-it can not be heard from behind the boat
-It can be heard from the cockpit.
Other than the Gimbal bearing, are there any other bearings or bushing between the OD and the engine that can go bad?
What ideas do you all have?
Thanks,
-Steve-
