Check for unusual play or slop in the leg, if there's a lot of sand take apart the water pump and clean it then flush the engine thoroughly. Spray compressed air in the pisser (if there is one, never seen an L drive) while it's running for a few seconds to knock the silt loose, wait for pee to resume, then repeat a few times. It could've spun your prop hub too, put a mark on the hub and on the prop and see if they change locations after a while at WOT.
