Hi all,

I just had my dealer complete a bunch of warranty work and almost everything looks great. They removed the port drive and replaced some components within....

Anyways, on my trip back from the dealer I noticed a noise coming from the starboard drive... No work was done to that drive, it shouldn't have been touched when they hauled the boat. However, now its making a noise that sounds like rocks in a can jiggling around. It happens in gear or neutral, and its present no matter if the steering is turned left, right, or in the middle. For trim though, I only hear it when the drive is trimmed down or up, only the middle 50% is noise free. I can assure you this is a new noise, it was not present before I dropped the boat off. Any ideas?
