Hello All,
Been reading this forum for awhile and it's been extremely valuable in helping me maintain and get a better understanding of my Honda. Had the boat since 2007. Just performed yearly maintenance: oil change(mobil 1 10w 30), gear oil(Merc high performance gear oil), new spark lugs(NGK), new racor. Last year did water pump, thermostats, hp and lp filter. Back in 2015 I had the intermediate bushing changed. Recently a slight knocking or ticking is audible at idle out of the water and I'm wondering if the bushing is going bad. Seems to be coming from the midsection. Some times can be heard when in the water. Below is a video of the noise and a picture of the bushing from 2017. Does this bushing look bad? Kind of does to me. Probably should have been changed last year. I thought when the bushing goes bad it makes a screetching sound and not a knocking. Curious what the experts think. Thanks!
