Hello I'm a new boater just inherited a 2001 Sea Ray Sundeck 240 from my dad.. had to do a lot of repairs so far and now a new curious thing is happening in idle and at speed I hear a chirping noise that I assumed was a belt slip or pulley bearing but it sounds to me like it is coming from the rear of the engine it doesn't sound like a knock that I heard in a previous post I don't smell burnt rubber so would it be my engine coupler or could I possibly just have a bad gimbal bearing? When I took the drive off The The gimbal bearing is a non-greasable part and it felt like it spung easily The shaft went in without issue... And I was able to push the drive on all the way and then just screwed on the nuts on the outside I'm hoping it's the gimbal bearing and not the coupler but what are you all's opinions on my issue? Thanks in advance captain of For Play
