newly acquired motor. 87 sailmaster 9.9. the powerhead has no compression in one cylinder, and plans are to turn it into a short shaft.
have the lower unit off, but the extension seems stuck via the water tube. looking into the housing i see the water tube looks like it is firmly attached to the extension (corrosion?). what is the best way to get the extension loose? or should i just cut the water tube with a saw (there is room to fit a saw blade between the housing and the extension)
really too bad when people dont take care of these old motors.
