hi,
boat sat for 2 years, engine was slightly seized, freed it up with some atf fluid in the cylanders. cleaned up the trim motor, then it worked. everything is working. get it in the water, stalls if ya give her any gas, idles in drive and reverse, slowly get to give her more rpm's and speed!!! in till i notice the engine is lifting 4" on the right side!!!! so i'm thinking of cutting just enough fiber glass out so i can slide a piece of metal like a 12"X6" under the engine mount and bolt her to the engine mount. do you think that will do the trick??!!
another thing is she gets hot pretty quick, it was spitting water out the back at first, but seemed to get less and less, so i need to investigate, i really needa manual for this engine and out drive, i dont know where to find one....
oh and should the sump pump be in the verry bottom of this thing? should i cut a hole so i can sit the pump lower??
hope yas can help!!!! shes a sweet boat!!!! i'll post pictures later!!!
