Hi Experts.

I just bought a mint condition 88 Bayliner 19.2 cuddy and the OMC Cobra 3.0 in line 4 has a funning ding noise in the back.

It is not a rhthymical noise but sort of a ding..pause...ding...pause...pause..pause....ding...

Sounds like it is coming from the ring gear/bell housing area.

Of course when you spool up the engine the engine noise drowns out the dinging.

It sounds like a random tapping with a piece of flat steel somewhere in the innards.

Anybody have any experience with this sort of sound?

I could take a short video and email it to anyone to listen to if that would help.

Thanks
