Volvo Penta I/O vibration noise

[NJ Guy]

I have a volvo penta I/O if i dont keep it turned just a tiny hair to the right i get a vibrating noise...and if i obviously turn to the left i get the vibrating noise or if i turn to far to the right....i have old school non power steering...maybe just something loose? havent looked at it yet as i left the boat in a bit of a hurry last time i was out

[L.T.]

I know on a Mercruiser that would indicate U Joints or gimbal bearing wear.  Is it like a rumble when you turn the wheel far right or left?

[NJ Guy]

yes that was my thought as well...it is a rumbling noise....


always repairs when your trying to sell it
