reversing gear noise?
We started hearing much louder and lower pitch noise while crossing Lake Michigan to Sheboygan WI, and then from there all the way home to Waukegan IL. About 130 miles. We also feel a lot of vibration. I took some videos so you can hear the noise. I'm wondering if it could be the reversing gear causing all the racket and vibration. It doesn't do it if it's in neutral. The propeller is fine and spins without anything odd.
There are two videos exploring the engine area, and one looking and listening in the lazzarette. It's a Columbia 8.7

The noise is most obvious in the last one.
Thanks,
