    I have had several scotts with your gearcase. The noise typically comes from the meshing of the large prop-shaft gear with the 2 mounted on the drive shaft.
    THe simplest solution that has worked for me is t o run it full speed in forward for a while. That may be all it needs. If that doesnt work you can install a second gasket for the gearcase cap. The originals were made in 2 thicknesses.
