Now I know what you're thinking, the belt is loose, but it's not that type of squeal. This is a "chirping" belt that is very distinct when the trim is fully down, but as the trim comes up (in increments) it lessens to the point when it's gone at about 1/2 trim. It's barely noticeable at idle, but as soon as you load it up it screams. Once on plane I trim up and it fades. Make a slight left or right and it's comes and goes.
So what could possibly be the connection between the trim angle / engine load and belt squeal? I have a theory (and I don't like it) so I'm curious what others think or have maybe seen. The boat is an '05 Glastron SX 175 with the 3.0 & SX outdrive.
