so since the Ujoints have play in them its causing the pump shaft to move causing the imp to make noise? When i am in the boat it does sound like stainless steel rattling. Hard to hear in movie.
The U-Joints will not allow the pump shaft to move, good, bad, indifferent. However, and I agree with Tony's speculation that the U-joints may be the bulk of the noise, it would also indicate to me that it's bearing time in the pump. If the U-joints were ill-maintained or just tired enough to reach that condition, time to look into the pump anyway, as it's probably in a similar state. The bad u-joints could also be the cause of the input bearing to fail, if it has.
News is, you gotta remove the engine, or the pump, to get the 1310 d/l out to replace the u-joints anyway, so might as well be the pump and go through it.
