Post Clicking sound
When I start up my 23 copperhead I'm hearing a clicking sound coming from by my prop or the end of the drive shaft. Any ideas on what it could be?

If you want to swirl wine and stay in a room where politics and investment diversity are discussed (with no roaches) lake lanier is near Atlanta. If you wanna have an awesome time and maybe stay in a room where children were conceived on one side and someone got stabbed over an 8-ball on the other come on down I got a can of raid. :D

No sound when I turn it manually. There is a gap between the prop and the housing.

Is there any play in the prop? Could be a bearing close to the end of the housing.

There is no play in the prop and I only have 7 hours on the motor so I'm hoping there isn't a bearing issue.

Buddy of mine has a 12 hp copperhead and about half throttle it rattles and vibrates like hell! All sounds like it is coming from the bearing before the prop.

JB- I only notice the sound when it's at idle. It's a clicking/ grinding notice.

I would pull the prop and whatever else it took to inspect the housing/bearing/seal.

There is a trash cap held in place by a snap ring, when ran out of the water you will hear the trash cap rattle, it's loose so it'll spin when vegetation wraps around prop shaft in between prop and trash cap so seals don't tear up, when running the water dampens the sound and you won't hear the rattle.
