I have an Older Mercruiser 1973 model All though very low hours, It hasnt run for a few months. When I used it this weekend I noticed a growl while under acceleration and turning to the right and much less noise when turning left. When running out of the water it is smooth and makes no noise shifts fine. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Wrong section, but you have a bad gimbal bearing.

Yeah, likely gimbal & possibly also the universal joint bearings.
