I have a MAXUM SC 2300, engine as far as I know is a:
4 bbl, carburated
5.7L, V8, I/O Mercruiser
Recently, for some reason, after a of riding, I have been experiencing a clicking/ticking sound coming from my engine.
I know there could be a thousand ways a "ticking" can sound like. But I don't know how else to describe it.
The tick is a rythmic, and constant clicking... in intervals if 1-2 ticks per second.
Based upon some searching on iboats forum, I have found many experts on here feel it is probably related to the "timing." The tick is similar to a sound a spark makes when for example I pull the spark plug wire and hold it against a ground.
When I asked my marina mechanic about the timing... he said that most boats usually don't have a timing issue, and that my tick is unlikely due to the timing... Since he says, my tick does not occur at the beginning of my ride, and only occurs at the end of my day of riding the boat...
Does anyone have any ideas on what it might be....???
