4.3 mercruiser with a alpha one outdrive. Have a noise coming from behind the motor with it in or out of gear. Gimble bearing? Is there anything else back there that could go wrong?
It sounds like a dry bearing, its not a crunching noise it just sounds like something has run dry. The noise gets louder when you speed the motor up, but like I said it does it in gear and out. Any suggestions of where to start looking?

There is also a bearing under the top cover to the upper unit which is the highest in the outdrive. Try using a stick to your ear and touch the other end to the top cover while is running on muffs
