We have run our new outdrive for almost a full season, Installed in March of this year. I have read post where the whine in the outdrive is suppose to go away after 10-15 hours. When installed sure enough the whine was there, this was not an issue read about this before purchase. I cannot complain about the performance of the outdrive, all parts including engine, gimble , plate and outdrive, hydra. pump replaced new. Outdrive gear oil has been changed three times.
We have put a considerable amount of hours ( 400 ), more than most on the new set up in one season, Still there is a loud whine coming from outdrive only in gear under load. We own a marina and we are not a shade tree mechanics. We have three other SEI outdrives at the our marina, non which whine like this one. It is most apparent that it is gear whine, I would have thought that if it was in fact going to quite down it would have by now with this amount of hours.
Any suggestions ?
