I have a 2004 35 Open with 8.1 Crusaders and ZF Transmissions. I do have trolling valves installed. The starboard trans has always whined at idle in forward only. Above 900 rpm or so the whine disappears. I talked to ZF Marine and they said this is normal as that tran spins in reverse due to counter rotating engines. It seems to be getting louder and I have seen some threads to replace tran oil with 15W-40 engine oil. Anyone have similar issue or suggestions?
