Vdrive whine in reverse

Recommended Posts

Hi, new Malibu owner here. Searched for awhile on the site to see if my symptoms had been discussed before, but had limited success.

I had the boat out for the first time this weekend and just wanted to make sure it was ok for the vdrive to make a significantly louder whine, for lack of a better word, when in reverse. Everything is smooth, it just makes a different noise in reverse. I've read that the hurth trannys have this symptom. I don't remember my buddy's X1 making that noise in reverse though....

Thanks!

Great, thanks! Now I just need to find my wiring issue Dontknow.gif Think I've got a touchy kill switch that needs replacement.

You may just need to replace the red plastic thing-ey (Bugs Bunny-ism...) I had one get dis formed and had to replace it after it would cut out while under way...

I got a replacement @ West Marine.

Good luck!
