Loud everything

[jimandkathycarroll]

put outdrive on sounded loud with water to it in driveway,took it out getting worse when turning side to side sounds horrible.Then i found out that when you try to start engine out of gear it takes all the battery to turn over the engine. For the rest of the day we had to start the engine in neutral. the bottom line is i do not trust the situation and am concerned please help.

If the sound is a growling noise I would check the gimbal bearing. If it is a knocking noise then check the u-joints. I'm not sure why it is hard to start.
