Well with the budget going to the new place in the keys and with us going down every weekend the boat has been ignored pretty much. We want to remodel the unit and turn it from a 2bed 2bath to a 3bed 2bath and then buy furniture.
I'm going to have to "set aside" some $$ for the rebuilt.
Now I know that many here have done this to the wife any suggestions?
I did put her back on the trailer since the wife said something about it laying in the yard. This morning with help from 4 very strong teenagers I put the engine on the boat to start preping it a bit. I also rocked the engine and the transom has no flex so that was good.
I re-checked the compression and it was 115 to 120 (so I was bored) I then drained the lower unit oil and refilled it and then I found it leaking.
I imagine that the seal has gone bad
Now is that a complicated job or leave it when I take it to get it ready by my mechanic?
Besides that I want to paint the parts of the engine to make it look as nice as possible and the cowling and mid section/lower unit.
