I was cruising at about 35MPH on Saturday on our way back to Key Largo and all of the sudden when I reduced speed to get into the marina my port ide motor started making a loud strange noise. I turned it off and turned it back on to get to on the trailer and the noise was there. Got home and when i tried to flush it the motor made cranking sound was did not turn over. Not sure if there might be something stuck in there or if the starter went bad. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
ill make you a deal on it if you want to sell it ;)
but do you feel the noise was specifically in the engine compartment?
what motors do you have and how many hours also

Boat has twin 150s and 26 hours. For the right price a deal can be made. It seems that there is something stuck in there as per the dealer’s comments. Dealer will take a look at it tomorrow to help determine the issue.
