I just replaced my cracked lower unit with a rebuilt unit. Today I ran the boat with the ear muffs on. At low rpm sounds good but as soon as you give it some gas a loud gear rattle from the upper unit. In addition to this when it is in reverse I can stop the prop shaft by grabbing it? Does the rattle sound like Ujoints. If so what am I risking buy running the rest of the season no more cash and I want to get out. One more question should exhaust water becoming out by the shifting mechanism where the lower and upper unit join? Any help is appreciated thanks!!!
