'90 Four Winns 200 Horizon 5.7
I've had the outdrive off a couple times the past few weeks to swap the upper unit. I put it back on last week, fired if up in the driveway with the muffs, forward/reverse, everything was smooth... Until it started getting hot. Turns out the pipe that carries water from the lower unit to the upper unit got left in the old upper, DOH!!! Whole unit came back off and put it back on the next day, sealed her up, waited 24hrs then fired it up in the driveway. Everything is FINALLY working perfect except when I put it in forward gear from idle I get a decent vibration for about 1-2seconds then it smooths out. It's about the same whether it's in the water or not. Put it in the water and it did it 2x in a row then we ran it for about 20 min at half throttle and sat, fired it up and it never did it the rest of the day. So we take it out the next day and it does it the first few times we take off and not again for a few hours later it did it once again.
It's only when I go in forward, reverse is smooth. It did it the first time the outdrive went back on, then I pulled it and put it back on and didn't do it. Now this last time it's doing it again. It only lasts a couple seconds then it perfectly smooth. Everything feels good at idle also.
