Rattling noise at idle and low speeds, disappears completely at high speeds

[sp007c]

After having to use the emergency stop, my Force HP85 has developed a strange problem. There is now a rattling noise coming from the flywheel that completely disappears when I reach a certain (very) high speed. What could it be?

Possibly the screws holding down the stator have come loose.
You can do a LOT of damage running it.
Remove the flywheel and check.

I would love someone to come by and look at it. The boat is near Bethel Island, CA.

The screws/bolts are probably loose or broken allowing it to wobble at lower rpm, then it balances itself out as you speed up.

Little too far for an afternoon visit
I used to be in that area a bit until they stopped the gold prospecting.J
