| Post subject: | Noise coming from lu of 32hp pd |
I'm new to the mm world, last duck season a buddy took me on his mudboat with a 27hp pd all season and I had so fun I had to get my own. I now have a 32hp vanguard prodrive... probably an '06 from the plate on the lu. The guy before me had a new clutch installed just a few hours before I got it. The first 3 hours or so that i ran it went great. I was about 2 miles from the boat ramp and then a horrible sound started coming from just under the clutch. I made it back to the ramp ok but it sounds just like a bearing going out to me although I am not 100% positive. Has anyone ever experienced this b4? The metal housing just below the clutch vibrates a lot more than normal and it's only when the clutch is engaged. It does it at any rpm. |

If like to know as well. Just bought a 32 prodrive and the lower unit makes a strange noise but still runs like a champ |

Its most likely the top bearing. |

Owen I'm pretty sure you worked on my motor. I bought sky busters boat. How hard is it to replace that bearing? |

Ive never personally replaced a bearing. You need to pull the power head and drop the foot first. You could send just the top end to Pro-Drive if you wanted and have them fix it. That L/U also had some pretty good noise coming from the gear box. Possibly a chipped tooth on the gear. If thats the case, then you will have to buy a new lower unit. |

Just call pd and talk to them. My upper bearing went bad and was able to fix it without buying a new lower unit. When my bearing went out it sounded like it was eating itself. Maybe you will get lucky. They can help ya figure it out. They're good ppl. |

If its the original 06 LU than more than likely its the top bearing, There were issues with the gear oil delivery system to the top bearing on the 06-07 when the oil level got to low. Since then they have made the top bearing grease filled. |

It was the upper bearing, I bought the bearing and the guy I bought it from had his mechanic help us install it. We used a hoist which made pulling the powerhead a breeze. Had to pack the bearing really good before installing as peck stated. And went back together really easily. |
