Kids used the boat and had it in gear in trailer mode, then said it made a loud noise. What could be messed up?

Start with things like U-joints, Gimble, drive shaft.

I just bought a '98 Eclipse 2000 SC. What's "trailer mode"?

That's when you put the engine or outdrive in the full up position, puts a lot of stress on the u-joints and starves the fresh water intake
