Hey guys I'm new to the boating scene so any help is greatly appreciated!!! I bought this boat a few months ago and there is a strange knocking type noise comin from engine. I thought it might have been u joints in out drive but I took the outdrive off and the knocking noise is still there. It doesn't sound to me like a rod knocking but could be I recon. It sounds more like it's coming from the back of the engine somewhere but can't really pinpoint the noise. The sound of knockin either goes away or gets drowned out by motor sound when the Rpms go up past idle. Any help would be awesome guys! Thanks ALOT!
