Hello,
I have an older Mercury 90 straight 6 2-stroke. I believe its called the tower of power. Not sure of the year, but its probably an early to mid 80's model i would guess. Engine runs great, it just makes a pretty bad squealing noise in neutral, forward and reverse. At higher rpm's it seems to go away, although may just not be able to hear it over the 2 stroke. I've been told it could be a water pump. Water pump is functioning fine. I'm wondering if its a bad bearing of some sort. its made the noise for a while now. I just inherited the boat so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
