F 115 squealing noise

[rbc]

After running my f115 for awhile and then idle I notice a high pitch squealing noise. If I stop and restart noise is gone. Engine is 2005 and under warranty. Should I take it in to dealer? It is 25 mile ride into Key West to dealer.

Sounds like a belt or pulley tensioner needs lubrication/adjustment. I had the squeal at 85 hrs. A little lubrication took care of it.

I've heard of that squeal a lot on other forums, it was talked about here briefly: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=168107&highlight=f115+squeal
