I bought this boat a month ago. It set for 3 years and I did all of then necessary maintanance (changed hoses, drained/cleaned tank, new plugs, replaced power pack, new wiring from front to back,rebuilt carbs,etc.)
I've had the boat out several times since I bought it. I started it up this morning and a squeal came from the stator and metal shavings came from underneath. I shut the engine off and turned the stator by hand (compression is strong) to only hear a rubbing sound. I turned it couple of times and it seemed to go away but when I started it again it came right back with more shavings and a squeal.
Any idea what could be causing any of this to happen?
