Outdrive making noise now

[Ariel Rodriguez]

Hi all, I was at an outing and was trying to get close enough to an island to get off-board and have some fun. During the manouver I heard a clunk like I hit something. We were at about 2 to 3 ft of water. I don't know if it was the hull that hit something or the outdrive. I do not recall if I had the outdrive in gear or not. After scrapping the island idea I moved into deeper water and trimmed the drive up to see the dual props. I did not see any damage nor did I see anything warped. However, now the drive makes a little rattle going straight and when the drive is turned either way, the rattle increase. I looked at the drive outside of the water with the water hose on and in gear and did not see that the drive was bent. What can it be? This is the boat info.
