I have a grumbling noise from the back of the boat.
I thought it was the gimbal bearing but I replaced it and i stil get the noise. Any help on what else it could be? I checked the universal joints and they felt ok. well i didnt feel anything bad.
yeh it felt smooth.
I replaced the universal bearings (holy crap they were expensive compared to my car) And it took care of almost all of it. I really didnt think they were bad when i felt them the first time. Now i just here a little bit when i let off of the gas. Also have a small backfire out of the carb just comes out of no where. Any thoughts? Maybe bad gas ? boat hasnt ran since last season. I changed plugs and wires last weekend.
BT DOCTU: I pulled the outdrive off to change the gimal bearing and then pulled it again to change the two driveshaft u-joints. Its a very slight vibration now when going from high to low rpm's.
Bond-o and gadget73: The fuel filter is clear and doesnt look clogged but i guess it could be? I will add fresh gas and filter tomarrow. Its just one or two poppings from the carb here and there. Not a steady popping noise btw.
Uh-Oh, Another GLASS FILTER in a boat.Seems we have another

Did you remove the shaft or just change the joionts, and did you check the drive oil?
