[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 319578, member: 4592"] So the squeal is not coming from the pump it is coming from the intake manifold. Randy at Gator pulled the pump apart and all is normal. He ordered a new intake manifold and it will be in tomorrow. Hopefully it stops. It does not effect anything performance wise, just my sanity. I hate squeals, taps, squeaks, things banging, or any other annoying sounds. I'm hoping it will fix the issue. On another note, I have been debating on posting this huge mistake because I am embarrassed but if it saves one of you guys from going through the pain and embarrassment then it is worth it. If your boat has a motor cover that also acts as a fishing deck, make sure you latch it down before you drive 70 mph on the highway. I forgot to and the darn thing flew open and smashed some stuff. It ripped my speaker covers off, broke my trim cable, put 4 nice holes/scratches in my paint and put and enormous dent in the motor cover. I pulled over to the side of the road and almost got sick. I don't remember the last time I felt so disappointed in myself. Needless to say, I got a new trim cable put on, ordered new speaker covers and beat the dent out and you can hardly tell it was even there. If you didnt know it happened, you'd never know. I'm going to wait until Winter to get the paint fixed or just throw a wrap on it like already planned. Brand new boat, not any more. I swear I could mess up an anvil in a sandbox. [/QUOTE]
