Rattle when the boat is idle?? Please help!!
I noticed a rattle today at the lake when the boat was just ideling? It seemed to come from the rear of the boat. When I put it into gear it starts to go away. When I pick up a little speed it goes away. The boat seems to run fine. It almost sounds like something is loose? Any body have any ideas?

I guess it could be a number of things...it is a rattle, or an intermittent sound kinda in tune with the motor, like puck, puck, puck for lack of a better descriptor.....if so, have a look around the exhaust manifold for any drips or leaks. this happened to me and it was a failed manifold gasket at one port ( 4 ports on each side) probably not, but something to look at anyway

Could be low on ice and the cans and bottles are bumping into each other.

Well that did not go well!! Couple of things-- I think the raddle is coming from the rudder!! I can get under the boat and move it real easy! Is that normal? Also I found I huge hole in the bottom of the hole. It's through the gel coat and into the fiberglass! Is that something I can fix or will I need to have someone else do that? I have no idea where it came from. Any help would be awesome!
If it's not one thing it's another.2004 Mobius LSV
