"It's "normal" for

"It's "normal" for a trans with a worn damper plate.

It's indicative that one or more springs are loose, or have busted or fallen out. You may run the engine for years without issue in this condition.

You could also have it fail completely and not be able to use the boat. Mine rattled a bit several years ago and has been fine ever since."
