I may have misinterpreted what happened. The lower unit went out at the end of the summer last year. 2 weeks ago I heard the same noise before it went out the first time. I didn't chance it and idled back to the ramp. I removed the lower unit and took it to my mechanic. He examined it and said everything was fine. I also spun a hub that day. Got a new one pressed in and went to the lake. My speed and planing out issues were resolved with the new hub. But my lower unit did break that day. Looking at my posts I may have made it sound like it went out 2x in just a few days. I'm gonna give my mechanic another shot as he said he would greatly discount the price of a rebuild because he told me it was fine the first time. He's gonna put the new one on and take it to the lake himself.
