[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 452138, member: 7376"] I bought a brand new Tohatsu in 2008, 20hp (exactly the same as a Merc 20), and it was noisy as heck as well. It is gearcase noise. Doesn't hurt anything but my ears. I actually removed the foot and ran it in the water without the foot briefly and it was quiet as a church mouse. Fluid was clean, no metal. Took it back to dealer and he said that they all do it. So I ran it until I got tired of it, sold the boat and motor to my friend who wanted it worse than I did and he loves it--but it's not gotten any quieter. [/QUOTE]
