A new problem to diagnose....
1985 Grady White 22 Seafarer with a 305 2bbl and a Gen One Alpha One. I keep the boat in the water.
I have serviced my alphas (other boats too) for years. I bought a "Rebuilt " lower last year.
The boat was running fine then what sounded like someone put a stick into a fan blade. I stopped the boat. The outdrive zinc was missing but the prop was not bent badly, just a nick on all 3 bades. I keep the boat in the water. There is no noise in Neutral. It is only when in drive or reverse. I putted 3 miles home at 6 Knots.
I pulled the drive expecting to see a damaged U joint but all looks good.
Question, Could this be as simple as a propeller issue?
