Hi guys
Well the father inlaw and I have bought a project boat. It's a 32ft Randell and has twin Mercruiser 470s.
The boat had sunk due to the previous owner not maintaining the boat but it sunk to just below the flybridge. So the motors were full of water when we got the boat. And it had been sitting for about 3 month before we got it. So first thing we did was drain the water out the. Full it with oil. We were able to turn the motors over by hand which is a good thing.
We are taking the motors out this week and going to pull them apart and see what they look like then see what we have to do to get them up and running again.
We have never worked on these motors so wondering what people think the motors will be like, and what's the best way to attack this.
How much does it cost to rebuild these motors? Just s rough estimate. We live in Perth, Western Australia.
Regards
Kane
