Hey guys,<br /><br />I just got my motor serviced (first service, about 15 hours on motor) I had to drive about 100 miles to the dealer.<br /><br />I put it in the water last weekend for the first time since the service (about 1-2 weeks after service) and @ WOT it "rattled"? Seemed to go away if I trimmed it up??<br /><br />Motor is a 2002 60HP MERC EFI 4-stroke.<br /><br />Looking for a possible SIMPLE place to look? Otherwise it's the long drive back...<br /><br />Thanks!

Take the cover off of the motor and make sure they didn't drop anything in there. We had a guy come in one day and he said he went about two miles and started hearing a rattling noise so he cut off the engine and paddled all the way back so he wouldn't hurt the motor, come to find out it was a washer.

Thanks, I did try that, but maybe I need to get a flashlight and REALLY look? Thanks.
