 Squeaking problem
I have an 08 35gtr. When i put it in gear in the water its making a squeaking noise loud and gets worse the more throttle i give. When it is out of the water on the trailer and i put it in gear it makes no noise whatsoever. So my question is what is causing this? Any ideas or if anyone has a clue it would help tremendously. Im scared to run it anymore.

 Re: Squeaking problem
Check brake pads. Could be pad rubbing on rotar.

 Re: Squeaking problem
The added vibration created by the prop being in water could cause it. IDK take the clutch cover off and check it.

 Re: Squeaking problem

 Re: Squeaking problem
Its not suppose to be touching at all? Cause if its like any other brake system ive messed with the pads are still pretty much touching even when u let off the brake.

 Re: Squeaking problem
Check your intake gaskets for leaks...

 Re: Squeaking problem
You're gonna have to take the cowling off to get to them. Can you take the spark plugs out and see what they look like, if you have a black one and then one that's creamy color, that side is leaking indicating a lean mixture with the intake sucking in air. Sometimes the intake will leak and the gasket will act like a reed as whistle, getting worse the morse gas you give it while the boat is under a load. I'm not saying that's your issue but it's something to check.

 Re: Squeaking problem
Ok thanks. I will check plugs. But it doesnt sound like an air whistle its more metallic like a bearing or something. Im not familiar with where any bearings are or any of the drive components really.

 Re: Squeaking problem
Maybe some others will chime in, I had one throw me for a loop, sounded just like a squeaking belt and got louder, thought the fan was rubbing the shroud and turned out to be an intake leak where the intake meets the head.
Good luck
