Thank you Don.
No, I'm not referring to the clicking noise, but a lower pitch grumble. It's hard to hear on the videos, but more likely where I'm turning it back and forth, about 38 seconds into the longer of the two videos. I think I felt a less than perfectly smooth bearing but when I pushed and pulled sideways on the flange I didn't feel slop. I think it's easier to hear the "non-normal" sounds in the lazarrette video. It makes a deep rumbling sound in the cockpit and off the hull when I listen to it from the dock. And we feel vibration.
If I end up confirming it's the bearing, I suppose I should change out the toothed adjuster while it's apart. I have access to a press. I have pretty good access to it in my boat. I suppose I should try again to separate the prop shaft to isolate it. It didn't make much noise while running in neutral though.
