Had to dig this bad boy out



To get to it with a lack of tractor or winch, I rednecked this pulley to the top of the garage to get the motor off



Once on the floor of the boat, I got the cover off - it has been leaking for about a month - and got to work





Took the cover to a friends house where we decided it would be more fun to go for a ride in his boat instead of working - good call JJ.







Beat the storm by about 10 minutes



The yesterday I took it to a shop (father in law) - he got the bolt out and I got back at it.



Motor needs oil and I'm installing a new fuel pump in a few hours and a test drive this morning to follow.

A lot more work than I wanted to do, but all pretty much problem free. Had a little snag with an additional spacer when reassembling the clutch but AJ helped out.
Turns out it was needed and didn't just appear lol

Almost allowed to start working on it - 2 hrs to go.




































This guy ^^^ lol

If these substances are beneficial to many, many people.

No problem bud, I tell you that pulley is smarter than my way. I pick the powerhead and walk it to the bench. Forgot I'm almost thirty and riddled with arthritis last time I did that.... next time I'll get an extra set of hands:D

Anybody with the sense of humor to wear a shirt like that is probably a pretty good dude tall socks and sandals too!!! I dig his style. Lol

How many hours on that motor?

165

How's that trim coming along on your motor?

It sucks, but it still got me out there to catch 11 cats Saturday night.

Lol good stuff

To be fair though, your motot is kinda old. Vintage, antique even

I'm thinking you probably should just seal it up and put it in a museum.
