alpha one clangs in gear?

[saltine]

Tested the boat on muffs on the trailer today. All seemed well. Water coming out idle reliefs, search said that was normal. When I put it in gear, F or R, it kind of clanged *ting ting ting* is this normal? Is it just the dogs and suction of the prop in water make this a trailer-only issue? My prop feels a little sloppy...

Do what Bondo said. Put it in gear like you mean it. If you do it slow it will make a lot of noise.
