Reply To: vibration and noise in gearcase

[BRIAN FITZGERALD]

update on this:

Took your advice and made sure I wasn’t putting any pressure on the shaft, and yes the noise went away.  However, even with just the weight of the shaft on the pinion this thing sounds horrible.  The driveshaft would have to be suspended during operation , is that how this works?  I compared it to other gearcases I have and they’re silent compared to this thing.

This lower had seawater in it and I think the gears aren’t as smooth or flat as they should be .  I’ve got another gearset I’m going to try.

 

Thanks for the help
