As my profile says, I've got a 2000 190 Signature that I bought used last year. Mostly it runs well but when I shift to forward or reverse initially there is a clunk sound just before the boat starts to move. The process of moving to forward or reverse consequently is not as smooth as I would like it to be, making docking more of an adventure. The gear lube reservoir is filled to the line.
A friend, who has a similar Chaparral boat which sometimes makes the same clunking sound before his boat warms up, and I are contemplating getting a gear lube gun and changing the gear lube. Do you think this would help or does this type of clunking sound indicate something more permanent has been damaged?
