    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    Ok that looks good, I replaced my lower shift cable with a sierra cable, and went with Dometic cable for the upper shift and throttle cables to engine last year so there Max 9-10 months old. It does seem to be getting harder to shift now all this knocking has happened. I have the outdrive off...

    Its working, not when I actually shift though, something is off with the shift bracket but it is stalling when I manually press it so we're moving in the right direction!

    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    Ok thanks lou, ill keep an eye out for that manual. And yes your right I just bought the carb from orileys, I am learning about the boat vs automotive parts and could not return the carb but I will swap it out with a marine carb as soon as I can afford it.

    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    Thanks Kenny for all your responses. And Lou I have a Mallory marine distributor, it came with points. My buddy the old boat owner said he got tired of messing with them and swapped to the petronix. I wasn't aware about the ESA only working coming out of gear, thanks! But either way even in the...

    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    So 100%, im sure every one on this forum has more knowledge about this stuff than I do. Im learning all this for the first time. Im just looking things up on the web and I saw a 'fix'. It seems sketchy, but apparently its in the petronix box when you get it. Have you ever heard of this? My...

    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    So assuming my boat is on its 2nd possibly 3rd motor but outdrive has never been worked on, is it possible if I just replace the dog, the gears and all that stuff I could get another 30 years out of the outdrive? Or because the ESA doesn't work it will cause the gears to prematurely fail again...

    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    Don't worry I cleaned all that salt/calcium build up out, thats when I first got it. Just reminiscing. But you can see that outer edge there is barely any surface making contact with the gasket, it is just the one spot im concerned with but is a concern.

    Omc outdrive knocking noise while cruising.

    Hello, I have a 1988 Bayliner Trophy with a 350 SBC 5.7L, along with the traditional OMC outdrive. It was a project boat, old engine was seized and ended up putting in a new engine. Previous owner removed the OMC 5.0 and put in the 5.7(the one that was siezed). I just got a remanufactured 5.7...
