Hey guys I just bought a 1974 Raycraft boat with an Evinrude 70HP (70M473) outboard engine. While I was looking at the boat we wanted to do a compression test and as we took off the engine cover we found the back side packed with sand so right away I knew the boat was submerged. I paid 1/3 of what was asked so at $500 I thought it wouldn't be all that terrible to see if I can get the engine running and the boat is in great condition. My question is I removed the top cylinder spark plug and it looks wet inside. The bendix is stuck up against the fly wheel so that makes me wonder if the motor is seized up so I'm wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to how I should proceed. I appreciate any advice in advance.
