like Ferm said, its probably the gimbal bearing. When you are running the engine on the hose, trim it down and turn it side to side, if it changes tone, its probably the gimbal bearing. Pull the drive off and have a look. The bearing isn't too bad, but what caused the bearing to go out is the big question. Has water gotten high inside the boat? Has the drive shaft bellows been replaced in the past few years?
