First post here. I bought my first bought yesterday. It's a 16' Jon, with a 50 HP evinrude. I bought it as a fix it up deal. Got a great deal on it, trailer and all. Unfortunately it has a bad cylinder. A deep groove or two in the cylinder wall of the lower cylinder. The question I have is, is it a big deal to replace the sleeve and piston? Then engine runs, yet I have not water tested it yet. As soon as I register it I will test it out before going into the engine. I am an auto mechanic of 15 years(Cadillac/GM), so I should be able to handle the mechanical part. I have an older service manual/shop manual. Plus, I have all you guys. Hey, thanks for all the great info I've read so far!!
