Our SLX 280 today suddenly started making an odd noise. Sounded like knocking at first, but continually grew louder after. See video for reference (I didn’t take the video so don’t blame me for the crappiness plz). The recurring thump is much more noticeable in person than it is in the video. It’s actually loud enough that nearby boats could hear it. Happens both in gear and in neutral.
It was purchased last year, and only has 133 hours on it, so it’s still under warranty, but our main concern is if it’s ok to continue using until we can get it serviced, as this is the largest boating weekend in our area (I’m assuming no).
As the title states, this is the 8.2L V8 380 hp. Anyone have any guesses what this could be while we wait for our local shop to open Monday?
Thank you!
