So I got a boat.
1990 bay liner Capri cuddy.
Clean titles on boat and trailer.
Both solid. Engine won't turn.
Weirdo divorced outboard turned I/O
CV shaft done for. That's what locked up the engine.
It powers the lower gear case.
The one from the boat got drug on the ground. Front nose cone worn through.
To get it off, I had to take the entire lower half off.
So.....looking at it, it looks like maybe it had a little neglect, that turned into a huge problem. That then turned into huge neglect. Looks like boat may have be swamped.
Starter was done for.
Replaced. Then it cranked.
Transfer port cover was broken. Dunno how.
Fixed that. Cleared out the carbs. Ethanol is bad.
And it runs
So I got a used lower, lower seal set, water pump kit, a used driveshaft, measured and approximated a seal from rocket seals, got a new lower bearing. Sent the drive line to Drivelines nw for u joints. Replaced the steering cable.
Then reassembled.
Now I'm waiting on a trim pump, I gotta replace the blower and ducts, install bilge pump, and various small stuff.
And get boaters license.
