Hello,

I just spent a day of tubing on the lake and the as we were bringing the boat in to load it.. I could hear a very faint clunking noise. Boat runs fine, no alarms, no signs whatsoever.. I would mainly hear it when it was idleing and not in gear. I am going to take it to a service center to see what it might be. Does anyone know what I might be hearing. I felt the lower unit and spun the prop by hand and felt not dragging bearing feeling and it was not hot whatsoever. I also checked the oil in the engine and it was clean and ok. Another thing I noticed today was when I would goose the throttle I would hear what could be compared to a vaccuum noise. Like a rush of air into the throttle body.. Is this normal? I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Have you ever had the alignment and u-joints checked and serviced?

No, I have not. I assume you mean the main shaft coming out of the engine to the drive unit. I am taking it to a service center. The boat has 77 hours on it.
