Question Question About Outdrives / Improper Trimming...

I've noticed that some boats produce a loud exhaust sound at certain times—and aware that Mercury has thru-hub exhausts.

(Thank you, Mercury).

While a basic "primer" appears here http://blog.savvyboater.com/thru-hub...why-do-i-care/, it's a rare outboard engine that will produce a noisy exhaust sound.

Interesting that "Forward-Drive" doesn't expose a skier to CO fumes.

Finally, is it improper-trim that causes that monotonous, noisy, "blat" among inboards? Or is it just limited to some outdrives—like Volvo?
