I have a 1990 Four Winns Freedom 195 4.3 Cobra. While at idle in neutral there is a consistent ticking- -about every 15 seconds or so. I've stuck my ear down to where it might be coming from the best I could. It appears to be around where the engine meets the transom.
The only thing I've done that might be related is replace the lower shift cable last season. After some hassle I got the cable adjusted and the boat shifts smoothly. I'm wondering if it is the cable though. Perhaps the ticking is from it being on the verge of trying to kick into forward or reverse while it's in neutral. I should test it when she is in either gear to see if the tick still is there. (Sorry should have done this first before posting this issue.)
Any thoughts 4.3 OMC gurus??
Thanks, Bill.
