Noticed a weird popping noise when lowering my outdrive (MC-1 888) after I got home from an outing today. See video.
Is this normal? If not, what would cause it? I did hit a bit of wood today, once hard enough I thought I nailed the prop (but the prop, despite being plastic, only had blunted/scraped leading edges). I was trimmed slightly up when that happened. I hit some more wood lighter at idle speed with the drive at trim cutoff (shallow creek leading to boat ramp).
