Hello everyone,I have a 1986 Searay Seville with a 4 cyl. and a OMC Cobra outdrive, the engine runs fine. The problem is that when I am in the water and under a load (cruising) and I turn in either direction I hear a load rumbling-grinding type noise, sounds like it's coming from the outboard but not sure. I have ran it in the driveway and turned but it will not make the noise. I am headed to the lake now with my wife and am going to let her drive while I get back there and listen. <br /><br />I was hoping someone here may have an idea as to what this noise may be. <br /><br />Thanks for any help, Rudy

Thanks guys, we went out today and I can adjust trim to a certain spot and it stops or is very quite, I think that may be a problem solved. I will let you know when I get it tore down. Thanks Rudy
