First up, lower the drive. Never run your engine with the drive up like that. Not good for unis, and the exhaust cavity in the lower housing fills up with water.

Does nobody RTFM (owner's handbook) these days? :facepalm:

They all sound crappy while on muffs. In the lake is the best way, you can actually hear the motor much better. Water is the muffler.
