Hi,
Spent my holidays bombing back and forwards to the Ponziane Islands every day and I noticed that my SX stern drive is quite noisy after an hour of cruising. Makes a sort of grinding noise at tick over when its hot. On start up makes a lot of bubbling noises but no grinding. had the unit off for a new gaiter fitting and oil level was ok at season start up. Is it normal for a drive to be noisier after running for a while?
Thanks in advanced to any learned forumite who can advise.
Will
