Haven't touched the outdrive in 22 years other than oil and bellows. Took it off last year to paint and had it resealed this spring. Have about 2-3 hours on it and today it has a serious grinding whirring noise when running, does it in gear and neutral. Had boat towed in 8 miles from lake to be safe.

Will have the mechanic pull it and see, but any ideas from you guys?

Take off the top cover and see if there is oil in the unit.Sounds like it might not have been filled.Jerry
