Hey Spareparts

[cfelton]

It rattles anything light laying loose in the boat like a fishing rod laying up against the gunnel. Its really not terrible but definately noticeable to me and others in or out of the water. It makes my old Ritchie compass spin around. But after I get underway I trim the drive up till the bow almost bounces and it goes away. My buddys 86 v20 with the same motor and drive is smooth as silk all the time. If I can get over Christmas I might buy me a new coupler and change it out. I dont think it will be to bad of a job. I think I can do it without pullin the motor out, just support the rear , pull the outdrive and crawl back there and unbolt it. Probley gotta pull the bellhousing off.
