I've been working on this issue for 2 seasons now and won't type a book but I'm out of ideas and need some help from the best!
My twin 1997 BF90's started to make this extremely loud, drone, base sounding tone between 4000-4800 RPMs that even the best ear muffs can't block out.
I slow / speed up each motor to try to identify which one is doing it but they both seem to. They're tied together by a steering bar. I'm afraid to get up on plane and shut one motor down; it's a big boat but that may be next.
This all started mid last year and the only thing I did was drop both legs to install water pumps. I don't think this drone started instantly after the pumps but who knows.
The port motor shakes like a paint shaker but runs terrific. This may be part of my issue. I didn't see a counter balancer in the Honda book but this shaking should be addressed. The other motor is much, much smoother.
Is there any way the exhaust is being diverted from the prop hub out the top of the midsection at these RPMS? I swapped props from SS to new aluminum but that did zero.
What causes a Honda 90 to shake like a paint shaker?
