Noise in Reverse

[bigtige72]

I just bought a 2004 24V Riders Edition, and just wondered if a gear whine is normal in reverse. I haven't owned a V-drive or a direct drive boat before so this is new. As a heavy equipment mechanic, I'm trying not to pull it out, and tear into it to see if something is wrong with it!! just trying to find out if it's normal....
Thanks

Totally normal, dont know why but every v drive I have been on does this.

Totally normal, dont know why but every v drive I have been on does this.

Direct drives do it too.

Ok! Nice... I can just go and enjoy now!! Man part of me wanted to rip and tear, but boating is new, and I kinda like the "Blower Whine"!!!!

I have the same boat, does it every time. Post some pics of your boat.
