Hello To All,
I have recently replaced the engine in my 1970 Sea Ray SRV 190 with Mercrusier 165 inline 6 With pre Alpha outdirve. Since I have never ran the boat [project boat had blown engine], I am not familar with normal or abnormal noises. The engine runs fine has 20 PSI oil pressure at idle and runs 160 Degrees on earmuffs in the yard.
Note all the engine covers and rear covers are out of the boat. The noise is in the area at the rear where the engine coupler is and is quite loud rotational sound. The gimbel bearing looked new and P/o Owner claimed it was new. The engine coupler came with the used Mercusier engine looked fine, no cracks in the rubber.
I lubed every thing with red grease, outdrive ujoints, All zerk fittings on the outdrive. I may be overreacting to the noise. I was wondering if someone else could share thier experience in the matter.
Thanks Again for your Help, Mike
