help! grinding noise in 4cyl volvo penta

we took the boat out this weekend, and we started to get a pretty nasty grinding sound coming from what sounds like the outdrive. the noise is more pronounced when turning, and while moving the trim. the outdrive oil is full and seems to be clean. any idea if this may be? i have the shop manual, and i'm rather mechanically inclined, is there something that i could check for before taking it to a shop?

I sounds like bad u-joints, gimbal bearing or both.
