OMC 15A gear case sounds

[halestorm]

The gear case is disconnected from the power head. This doesn't sound too good to me. (Or, is this normal?) I've had it disconnected from the power head in the past, and don't ever remember it sounding like this. What should I do?

does not sound very good me either. send it out for repair. Ed Runne, TJ etc.

Sounds abnormal and probably needs repair. As a start drain the lube into a clean pan and let's see what comes out besides gear oil, like metal chunks.

Maybe a few choice chunks of pinion gear ....

Abnormal noise; get your torx bits out & disassemble it!

Send it to me I'll fix it! The "A" G/C is easy!
