New to forum but have a 2002 df140 w/ 1800 hrs and a 2011 df90a w/ 400 hrs. Used the 90 daily on a flats boat this winter and notice a clunking when in gear and at idle. Noise goes away in neutral or if rpms increased ANY. Cannot get any noise if motoris run on muffs.
Called my dealer to inquire about cause and he said immediately that if I was running a stainless prop he knew the cause. The heavy prop was overrunning the shifter dog. I am running a 4 blade stainless.
Has there been service notice about this? Should I worry? Can't really take it to a dealer who is not on water or wouldn't be able show them the noise.
Motor has been flawless and fuel economy is scary good.
