Before I buy an engine manual and try to fix the problem, I need to know what to look for. My 50 hp Force has developed a clicking that increases with engine revs. Noise sounds to be in the upper engine case. The problem seems to be only in forward gear. Motor runs on a pontoon boat usually about 3400 rpms. Any ideas???

Possible detonation...Low grade fuel..high compression engine.<br /><br />Check the gear oil for metal.<br /><br />TMD
