At the end of last season I had some work done to my Bravo III, and now it seems to be clicking when I raise/lower the unit. I don't recall hearing this noise before, and I know the mechanics removed the lower end for maintenance. Any thoughts? Is this something I should be concerned with?

Put your hand (carefully) by the trim sensors on the gimbal ring and move the drive up and down. See if you can “feel” the clicking right there. Almost sounds like the hinge pins creaking.

Will do, I did have my Gimbal bearing and all bellows replaced over the winter. I'll respond back in a bit.
 
Has it been out of the water for the winter? Sounds dry. Spray some water on it with a hose and retry.
 
It seems that a little water did the trick! Appreciate all of the feedback.
