RE: Hunter Twin Build
Yeah it's very interesting. Just had talk with the Dr. as well. He was telling me that it was bad to open up the drives due to the backlash and such.....but that seal is definitely not right. So I'll look into it tonight to see. Don't want any extra muck water getting in the drive.
I did pull the gearbox apart right at the point I felt the tick. Can't find exactly where it is though. I don't see any muck in the gears nor any burs. What's weird is it only happens with the halves are together. Once I seperate them it's smooth as silk. I'll do a more detailed cleaning this weekend after I get some motor spray to really clean things out. Either way the more I work through the drive it seems to be working itself out with minimal damage if any that I can see. What's weird is even with the two halves together it doesn't happen on every rotation......can't figure that part out. Oh well.
Dr says my hull should be here to my door within 20-30 days. We'll see.
