Out on the water yesterday, I stop the boat after running for 20 minutes.
My 72 year old mother (with poor hearing and needs to get hearing aids) says "oh good, quiet".
Then she tells me maybe we should wear ear plugs to protect our ears. ( wearing earplugs has already crossed my mind in the past).
I am already well aware of the noise and it's probably my biggest complaint with the boat.
I have already done a far amount of sound deadening mods and I also store lots of stuff like the covers in the storage compartments to help muffle the sound.
Boat is a 2017 sx210 with the newer tr-1 engines.
I know the prior owner sucked up atleast one tow rope.
Both engines seem to run well other than the noise.
Could the extra noise be from some type of cavitation issue?
If I am running a constant speed (20 mph for instance) the noise does seem to "peak" a little or slightly change volume level but overall it is fairly loud.
Maybe it is just loud but it has crossed my mind that maybe something else is going on?
Thanks! Jim
