My Merc sounds like someone is shaking a coffee can full of bolts when at idle or part throttle. When I go to full throttle, it goes away and she purrs like a kitten. The engine performs fine at all throttle settings. And it does it in neutral and in gear. Help! Its kind of embarrassing in the no wake zones!

I am having a similar problem with a 115 merc, but I don't think it is as loud as your prob. I am interested to hear someone who know's what's up.
