Sounds to me like you are cavitating which is probably caused by a worn impeller and wear ring.

I was looking at that the other day with shotgun, are those easy fixes? Or do we need to take it in?

check the splined coupler by the rubber vibration dampener those splines strip and it must be replaced, grab the driveshaft with a pair of vice grips and see if you can turn it behind the coupler.
