Recently replaced my throttle/reverse cables and took the boat out to water test it yesterday. Once I hit about 4500 rpms, I noticed a major rattle in the starboard side throttle that got worse as the rpms increased.
No performance issues or loss of speed, definitely not cavitation.
Concerned, I figured something on the rear had to be causing it, so I pulled the boat. Found that my spring on the starboard side had popped out of my TV and figured I'd just pop it back in.
Wrong.
When I'd get it back in, it pops back out once I'd move the fin up by hand. Looks like the spring is compromised. I'll have to deal with this later as I've now removed the fins as I'm leaving for Lake Anna in 2 days and really need to figure this out.
Soooooo, today I took it to the local lake with only the port side fins installed, back to stock on starboard side.
No rattle on starboard, BUT, now I have rattle on port side! UGH. Major rattle on port side throttle lever at the helm. After searching on here, I see some posts about reverse gates getting hit by the thrust, so I adjust the gate higher, still not better. Remove port side fins, not any better.
Now I come to where the experts live.... HERE!
What should I be looking at?
Weird that the starboard side had a TV issue, but removing it has apparently taken care of the problem.
Port wasn't an issue, but is now. Weird, but it's my reality at the moment.
Spoke to the dealer at the lake, they can look at it for me on Monday, but I'm stubborn and proud and want to fix it myself. He had mentioned impellers, they are good, it's not cavitation. I have plenty of thrust and speed, just a major rattle in the port side throttle at this point.
Any suggestions?
