Re: Bravo1 Noise
My money is on the U joints as well. They were probably getting bad any way, and having the drive trimmed way up with running probably did one in.
Be carefull if you hear it ever again. If the u joints completely let go, it will most likely destroy a bellow and in comes the water.

Re: Bravo1 Noise
Never run the motor over 1200 Rpm's with drive raised above trim range. This will over stress the u-joints.
Also critical is to use the L15-1NF factory spec u-joints or Mercruiser permalube u-joints. Anything else will lead to failure and we dont want that to happen.... BBB

Re: Bravo1 Noise
Thank you everyone for giving me the info about that noise.
My mechanic phone this morning and told me that after opening the outdrive, that I will have to change the upper gear kit, since the serial number starts with OL, Merc has change these gear with thicker gears. $ 2600.00 job, this suck specially because I never hit anything and never went low on gear oil and always change it every 50 Hours with a 6.2L engine
