I have just had my Carver Riviera 1985 hauled out because of a knocking noise at 1500 revs from the port side shaft.
On inspection the cutlass bearing is in good order and the shaft seems loose nearer the engine. I would appreciate
your thoughts please.
Engine is VP MD2040 and gearbox MS15A
When I select forward gear on port engine, there is a 30 second delay before it engages. Reverse is fine and the cables are OK.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
