mercruiser 3.0l sound

Hi all, my 2013 byliner started making this sound this week. It seems to go away when the engine gets warm. Any idea what this might be?

I think you are going to have to localize it. Use a broomstick and touch to different places and directly to your ear. Eventually you'll find the place it comes from.

Last time I heard a noise like that had a shutter that most of the rubber was burnt off of, and it was missing the rubber washer for the hinge pin, rattled like crazy.

Thanks , looks like I might have to take it in somewhere I liked all over and can't seem to find the source.

It turned out to be a bolt thats under the power steering pan. It was completely out and rubbing against the pulley.
