Hello I have a whirring noise I never noticed before coming from the out drive
and the bellows where the u joints are was full of old oil??? The motor has never used oil and the outdrive hasn't lost that much Must have been there a while.......very strange doesnt seem to fill with oil when running. U joints look okay......It just has this whirring noise . Seems to be in upper gear box.(Not sure) We had a devil of a time the ignitor went out in the distributor and the boat wouldn't start.....found out it was old cable and the master switch...I had 12.7 volts everywhere but no amps I guess!
