Headed home from a boat ride on Sunday. Pulled the boat out, shut the monte off to strap it down (at this point all is still well.) Once ready, I start it up - and there is a screechy kind of noise coming from below. Shut it off, did a quick inspection - nothing looks out of place. Started it again - same noise... UNTIL I shifted it into neutral. All quiet, sounds fine. Tried fwd, rev etc... all good. Towed the boat home 45 miles - all perfect, as long as I do NOT shift to PARK. Now I'm sporting a big reminder sign on the wheel to start stop only in neutral - nice touch eh? I think I caught a wiff of burning electrical when it was making the noise, it sounds l ike it may be coming from the starter or transmission - not sure. Any ideas? (I'm really not ready to surrender the Monte as a parts donor for the Raider just yet...) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
