Hi guys,
My boat motor quit awhile back and thought maybe you experts could give me some advice..I shut down on me on the lake and wouldnt turn over..I took it to a boat mechanic in town and he said the #4 and # 6 cylinders were blown..I guess one was a lot worse than the other.He priced me 2700.00 for a total rebuild and 1700 to fix the 2 blown pistons,reboring ect...I called him back and was going to have him rebuild it all and he said he didnt think it was necessary but we would put new rings on all of them..The cylinders blew because it got water in it somehow..Not sure why or how.He also suggested we get rid of the VRO pump and put a pump on to where I have to mix my gas..I dont have a problem with that...What do you guys think?..It was a low hour motor even though its a 92..What would you guys do?
