I have a 2014 Yamaha 115 4 stroke (2014) and it’s making a clicking noise. It had trouble getting the motor started and this is how it sounded once it did. I should mention that it shut off when the driver of the boat ripped it from near full throttle to full reverse accidentally while depressing the red trigger under the throttle.

I’m going to bring it to a shop but wanted to see if anyone has heard this before. Thanks.
 
Sounds like perhaps the timing belt skipped and you may have a bent valve.----Compression test would be the next step.----It does sound expensive.
