[QUOTE="Genius, post: 309836, member: 11332"] So.. me and a friend who also just bought a 60/40 took both our boats out for the 1st time together. As I mentioned mine started to make a noise right off idle, not really at idle.... It kinda sounds like a squeaky belt and somewhat of a bad bearing, like maybe a bad alternator on a car. His seems to be fine. I did tilt my engine up today and had a look with a flashlight at the impeller, it looks fine, no scuff marks that I can see. I guess I'll pop the cover off over the belt this weekend and have a close look at the pulleys. My next idea is to put it back in the water and take my stethoscope with me to pin point the noise. 1darknight, dose your noise sound like what I described? [/QUOTE]
