A very saddening incident took place yesterday. Went for a ride in the boat for the first time in 1,5 months - or so i thought.
Full power on the battery, but i wouldn't start! It went "clonck!" quite hard. Sounds like the starter couldn't crank the engine.
Tried to crank the engine manually with a wrench, but no luck.
IF the worst case scenario (water in engine) is a reality - is it really possible that the enginge can get stock from standing in just 4 weeks?
(it had a tune up i May and had been sailing like a dream since then! Beaufiful idle, running and sound)
I'm desperate: Is it the starter engine? Is it the neutralswitch that's broke? or is the engine stuck from salt water i cyl's?
Any one with some suggestions?
Thanks,
