Rattling noice in Alpha II

[victorc1]

Hello, I have a 1995 Mercruiser 3.0 LX with an Alpha II, when I make a turn a rattling noice sounds from the Alpha II. I checked the driveshaft and gimbal bearing and it seems to be fine. Also when I am going forward on the boat it rattles and the boat vibrates I have to adjust the tilt on the Alpha II for it to stop. Can someone tell me what this problem is? Thank You.

Sounds like a uni-joint is loose or the clip has come off and it's move out of position..

Okay, guess I'll remove the transmission again and check it thoroughly. Thanks

He is probably hearing the exhaust shutters.

Ayuh,... Hearing the Shutters,+ Feeling the U-joints, or possibly Bad prop/ Bent propshaft...
