- 1978 Mainship 34 Perkins T6.354
While letting my cousin drive the '78 Mainship 34 at 2200 RPMs (10knots) I opened the lazarette and discovered a horrifically loud rattling of the steering piston. When I firmly grab the piston the noise stops.
Any ideas what's causing this, and how to fix? It's a major contributor to the overall noise and it can be heard in the cabin.
I am planning on fairing the keel at some point, so hopefully that will remove some of the turbulence. Could a bent propeller blade cause this?
Thanks,
Robert
