Clattering from outdrive

[baconbiscut]

I have a cruiser powered with a 383 MPI with Bravo One outdrive. Heres the problem at idle I can here a clattering noise from the outdrive. I'm guessing this would come from the gimble bearing. If that were true wouldn't I hear a different noise than clattering. The clattering also appears when making a hard turn when docking. What could this noise be

Any help is greatly appreciated, Dan

Time to pull the drive, check the ujoints and gimbal bearing.
BTW, I have replaced a lot of ujoints that felt good, but when disassembled, they had grooves in the cross causing the noise.
