Engine/Drive Train Noise
We recently purchased a 1975 Bristol 27' with an Atomic Four. During
our initial cruise we noticed that at RPMs above 600 there was a knocking sound. This sound is not heard with the engine running in neutral or increasing the RPMs while in neutral. With the engine in forward gear and upon acceleration (more than 600rpms) the knocking sound becomes apparent and increases as the rpms are increased. Question: Does anyone know if this is normal for the Atomic Four or Bristol 27 or if there might be a particular problem that needs to be addressed? Any input or help would be appreciated. Thanks. Michelle and Harley |

Ginen the fact that the noise only happens when the shaft is turning
I'd suspect an issue with the propeller or shaft. Did you see the boat out of the water before you bought it and did you grab the propeller and try to move it around to see if the cutlass bearing was worn? The shaft could be a bit out of true. Does the same kind of noise happen in reverse? I own a Bristol 29. -jonathan |
