New to boating, was just curious if this is normal or the gimble and/or ujoints, something else?? Video starts with the noise happening, i adjust the revvs and it goes away, play with it and the noise comes and goes, you can hear again steady when the video ends..

The audio is lack luster but hopefully y'all can hear what I'm talking about.

Yeah. There is certainly a UJ noise in there. Maybe your drive a bit far up...but even at that. She’s noisy

Ok, yea i normally don't have it that high, forgot to lower it. That noise is there though, just like in the video, even when the drive is lower.

Ayuh,..... It don't have to run very long at those rpms with the drive up, to stretch the yokes, 'n ruin the u-joints,.....
