"I just joined tonight hoping
"I just joined tonight hoping to get some good ideas about an engine? noise. I bought a 1984 Imperial boat this summer with a 470r. Afer a couple of short trips around our local lake, I took the boat to a dealer to have a reverse cable replaced. After 6 weeks they finally finished. When I went to pick up the boat, the mechanis said that it had a loud noise in the engine. After a very heated disscusion, he told me that he doubted that I had ever had it running. I brought it home and the noise seems to be at crank shaft speed rather than a rod or main bearing noise. My question is, could something been put back together wrong in the lower unit? Thanks very much for any ideas. Steve."
