[QUOTE="tonynoriega, post: 358720, member: 9694"] 1955 Evinrude 7.5. Seen its share of days. However, the hood rattle is killing me... At low speed and idle, it is just like someone jackhammering it... At full throttle, it seems to just disappear and hum like it should... Was thinking two things... 1. try to tighten the clamps of the hood by either bending the hooking mechanism and or locking mechanism. 2. Adding some sort of exterior grade weather stripping to the hood where the two pieces meet... Anyone?
