Here's what I have done to try and solve the problem...
Hi all, I have a 1986 volvo penta 275 outdrive (sn PZNO 27136443D) paired to an aq 131a. toward the end of last season I noticed some noise coming from the outdrive. The noise was only noticeable when the engine was running in neutral. put it into gear, and the noise went away. I thought...
