sounds like clutch disk grabbing its probably an aggressive tranny on engagement we bring them up to about 1200 or a bit more and pull the shifter back till it slips a bit it smooths the plates up so they shift easier adding a trolling valve lets you bleed off pressure and slip the tranny all day to get a slower trolling speed the plates tolerate this a very long time
