Hello,
I recently purchased a 1650 rebel xl lund with a Mercury 60 hp four stroke. I have been concerned with this loud ratcheting noise when decelerating. Mercury has told me that this is normal as well as the tech where I bought it. I have never heard a noise like this on my older engines before. Has anyone experienced this? If so can someone explain the reasoning behind this? This song DNS like metal on metal and I am worried about wear or it breaking. Any information would be great.
Thanks!
Jim
