the boat i own was abandoned on my property by the guy i was going to buy it from.sounds crazy right?well i gave him $300 down for what was supposed to be a $1000 tri-hull w/ the 115 johnson 1973.supposedly only needed a new battery and turn it over.not so.thats when he took off w/ my $300.but thats ok i got the title the legal way and ended up w/ the whole deal for the $300.im stoked.but heres the catch!
the lower unit is STUCK!!!thats hopefully been resolved, my other post "sure hope this fits!!!" now after all that said heres my possible problem:before he left he made an conserted effort to get it to run.he even had it turning over,the problem w/ that is that STUCK lower unit is in gear.how could it be turning the flywheel w/ everything frozen.is this a major problem?im new but learning fast.even have aircraft mechanic exp.so please bear with me.could there be some major stuff broke or maybe just a broke flywheel key.probably overreacting considering w/ the lower unit off it turns over fine,all cylinders are pumping.just worries me.my wife and i really cant afford to waste the little bit of savings we have.
sorry the long post!
