I hit a stump with my prop, turned out my prop shaft got bent also. Got it all fixed, never had time to get it back in the water. started it up in the driveway with the water muffs on and at low rpms, low speed of the prop turning there is a tick. Sounds bad, reving it up the tick goes away, taking off the prop and there is no tick. Switching props and there is still a tick at low speed or rpms. Took it back to where I got it fixed and they said its a normal noise out of the water for a 4 stroke. Happens all the time and it won't be there in the water. Something about the prop spinning faster than the shaft or the other way around.
Anyone heard of this before or have this? I don't recall every hearing a tick before, but it should still be there if the prop isn't on right???
