Nate where u been getting gas from?

flounder_smacker 06-30-2013 10:28 PM

looks like you threw a rod and cracked the head. not as bad as you think. you could rebuild it depending how bad it hit the cylinder.

BassYakR 06-30-2013 10:31 PM

Hopefully next week ill have someone look at it... If the boat was worth more money id just repower with a newer motor... But its just not worth it..

That's just the head man! Fix that!

Ipen it up and see what kinda damage was don't to the cyl wall. May be a quick fix!

Hard to repair cast aluminum....but it may not be as bad as it looks. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a second hand motor than rebuilding it.

Did the same thing to my 40. You may have had a bent piston rod. That's what happened to mine. Ever got water in your cylinder?

BassYakR 07-01-2013 08:41 AM

Not that i know of... But when i pulled the spark plug it was kinda milky
