Default Propeller/Shaft Clicking Noise

how many clicks per revolution of the prop?

Friends,

I have a 1993 Genesis with a Merc Alpha One 4.3LX. It's going in the
water for the first time in 18 months. The shift cable was replaced 18
months ago. I just got the shift cable adjusted because it didn't
'feel' right when a adjusted the throttle/shifter when I tried to start
it for the first time on the trailer. I put the propeller on and gave
it a playful spin before I had the shifter adjusted. When I picked it
up and brought it home I gave the prop another playful spin and now it
makes a loud clicking noise. It's never made this sound before when
I've spun the prop while it's on the trailer. The shifter is in
neutral. Sorry but I don't know a lot about marine engines. Thanks


Steve
