Hate when PPl never finish a thread so, replaced the bearing, gear oil and greased u joints. Tested it on land and ticking was gone. Can't figure the bearing was making that noise. I'll post if I hear the noise again after a gd run.
Pulled it apart and nothing jumping out at me. The bearing is slightly loose, as in not that new stiffness but no play. Can't figure out what was ticking.
1997 four winns volvo penta with sx cobra outdrive.
Headed out tubing on the lake, after a half hour slowed down in a 10km zone and heard a ticking from the back. Motor checks out fine so headed back to shore. Increase throttle and the ticking increased with it, so stopped again. At this point...
