Mark replied with a price

Told you he was always on. PM me the price if you don't want to post. Curious, my buddy is thinking about getting one.

New symptoms.

Got a bonus warm day today and some friends showed up, so we went out to surf. With all the people on the boat it wasn't convenient nor safe to remove the back seat and use the stethoscope to investigate the sound.

However, two new things showed up:

1) The mechanical noise in the audio clip at the top of this thread changed to a definite "squeak". Same timing, still related to prop RPM. It occurs only in forward, never in reverse. I tried reversing when it happened and there was no squeak, but putting it back into forward brought back the squeak.

2) Pulling the throttle lever backwards, into reverse, now causes the engine to rev up well in advance of the propshaft engaging. Previously the engagement behavior was symmetrical: A little lever movement and you could feel the transmission engage, followed by the engine revving up as you continued to move the lever. In other words, it was possible to keep the engine at idle RPM's with the propshaft turning. That's still possible in forward, but no longer in reverse.

I believe this second symptom could simply be a throttle cable misadjustment. But since it happened at the same time as the squeak, I'm suspicious.

I'm not familiar with PCM's transmissions. I'll probably end up taking it to some PCM shop locally, but any ideas in the meantime?

Thanks!

iwndr if he will mention his ballast system to PCM?

I was too slow. I was going to post that we have an engineer that has new problems but is really concerned about safety.

It helps on mine

Mine too. I am getting custom sacs for behind the back wall and moving the batteries.

Seafoam response was funny. Worthy of a post in here.

Where too? Are you using that brick? How much does it help? Would one of the v locker sacs be too much?
