What I have:
1973 Sea Ray SRV 193
gm 4.1L with the original Mercruiser I/O
What I know:
compression test:
cyl. 1 105
cyl. 2 120
cyl. 3 165
cyl. 4 140
cyl. 5 30 (not a typo!):facepalm:
cyl. 6 30 (again, not a typo!):facepalm:
YIKES!!
The previous owner removed the head to have the rusted in spark plugs removed by a machine shop. He re-installed the head and then lost interest in the boat. I do not know how competent he was. He did replace the head gasket, head bolts, and valve cover gasket.
This is a 40 year old boat. It has maybe 5 - 10 left in it with TLC.
My Questions:
1. Do I roll it off the trailer and plant tomatoes in it? :applause:
2. Do I buy a different boat and sell this one?
3. Do I try to fix this motor?:frusty:
