I have a 1998 290 sundancer with twin mercruiser 4.3 ltr 190 hp engines. Starboard engine is running fine, but the port engine developed a ticking sound that started this week during a test run of new props. I put the new props on and went on a test run and noticed that the rpms ran a bit higher than before, but it ran well at 22 knots at 4,000 rpm's. The port engine rpms dropped to 3,000 at near full throttle and I stopped and heard the ticking sound at idle 700 rpm and then I heard less of a ticking sound at a around 1,500 rpms. Sorry, videos to big to attach. I googled this and got answers all over the place from exhaust gasket, fuel pump, water pump, valve lifters, or new engine.
Feedback appreciated. Thanks
