While motoring out of my marina, I ran across an inattentive fisherman's braided fishing line. After he got it free (obviously cut), we continued out to the broad lake. Once up on plane, there was a definite whining noise at 3K RPM and above. Engine sounds perfect at all RPMs while in neutral. 2003 Volvo DP-SM sterndrive; SX-MHP transom shield.
Back at the marina, I removed about 1.5 ft of easily accessible line, removed the first prop and pulled out 2 ft more, now waiting on the special Volvo tool to remove the second prop, but I can see through its center that there is still some line back there.
What are the chances this line was causing the whining noise? If not the line, what could it be? Thanks for your expertise.
