Need some advice. I got my hands on a 1993 Crownline with a 4.3l mercruiser and I'm being told it is locked up. Well I want to get this boat up and running so I have taken on the challenge. I removed all the plugs squirted WD-40 into each plug and let it sit for 30 mins. I also removed all the belts.Then I took a 3/8 drive and put it on the front pulley and tried turning CCW it moved about 1/8 of inch and stopped. I only had a 3/8 drive at the time so i might not have had enough strength to turn it. I didn't want to force it because i have read on a few different blogs that the out-dive can sometimes cause this problem? So that's my real question is there something in the out-drive that could cause this, I haven't had time to mess with it in the last few days. In the past I have had some people respond with junk it or run from it. So please if you have some good advice please provide.
