    Default Knocking noise at idle 2015 Mondo

    Bought this boat at the end of last season. Only had a few outings last season. Didnt notice any unusual noises last year. First weekend out this weekend and noticed a knocking noise at idle. Didnt have alot of time to investigate since boat ramp was busy. Read about some people have issues with wakeplate rattling at idle? Any other ideas of what it maybe? Is there anyway to post a video which I took where you can hear the knocking, rattling, pinging noise? Engine is still under warranty but hopefully it's not a major issue.

    You'll need to upload the video somewhere like YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, etc and then link it here in order for us to see it. Have you tried holding the wake plate at idle to see if the noise stops?

    I didnt know about the wakeplate issue when I was on the lake. I will try that 1st thing next time out. Here is a video with the knocking sound. I know it's not the best way to diagnose, but maybe someone is familiar with the issue.

    Thanks in advance

    Are you talking about that random "click/tap" sound every few seconds or so? I counted 8 times I heard it and all seemed to be intermittent and not in a set rhythm. Was that video on the trailer or in the water?

    Yes..I counted 8 clicks / taps as well. Definitely intermittent. That video was with the boat in the water at idle.

    I meant it's not a rhythmic noise, more random. I dont know if its intermittent or if its gonna happen everytime at idle. Need to troubleshoot next time out. ie wakeplate, in gear, different speeds,

    I just talked to local dealer and he thinks it is part of the exhaust tapping on metal box in the back of the engine. He has seen 3 so far this season. He said it doesnt happen until the engine warms up and the pipe loosens and sags to tap on the metal box. He fixed the last one with a rubber hose and zip ties. He said the 1 he just fixed must have been doing it for some time because the paint was rubbing off black metal box. Gonna look this weekend at mine and will update.
