So now that I have the shifting all fixed I water tested for first time today. Didn't make it far from dock before I noticed a knocking/grinding type sound from drive somewhere. Went back to dock and tied up to do some testing.
When in gear just above idle it starts making noticable noise. Even in water. When it's in the water under load it sounds like it's coming from engine coupler to outdrive area.
Out of the water it sounds like it's in the drive/driveshaft area.
I've never heard noise like this so idk what to check
When wheel is turned all the way it does Mike light clicking from ujoints, but my last alpha did same thing even after I replaced them.
The noise doesn't really change when trimming up or turning wheel. Just a constant growl sound.
I have 2 videos on YouTube one in water and one on Trailer. I'm assuming I'll be taking this heavy a** drive off again to reinspect other things
I'm considering just changing gimbal bearing and ujoints to see if it stops. But if there's more issues I'd rather not waste time and money on wrong repair.
I just wanna get on the dang water already!! Lollet me know what y'all think
