Motor Squeak

[fishinwrench]

Well if a bearing is failing then it will certainly get worse.  If nothing you can see is rubbing something....then about the only thing that could be causing a squeak/squeal is a dry or deformed bearing, a vacuum or pressure leak, or a split reed valve.

But like I said in the beginning, everyone's definition of a "squeak" is different and I'm not sure what YOURS sounds like.

Thanks for your time and knowledge Fishinwrench, just trying to decide what to do.

It's easy, just take it to someone that knows what to look for and get an educated opinion.   I can't speak for any other outboard tech's or the places they work for, but My shop doesn't charge for diagnostics unless the work that is needed is taken somewhere else.  And if it is then the charge is only 40.00

Not sure where you’re located, but wherever that is, the drive to take it to wrench would be worth it. 

Looks like you tried others, yet still asking wrench for free advice. Pony up and take it to him if you are wanting it fixed, and not free advice.
