"Laugh or grimace as you like,
"Laugh or grimace as you like, but here goes. '86 aq131, has been submerged, while tied to a dock (stearn of the boat only)and is seized.Don't know how long,1.it was submerged, 2.before it was drained of fresh water,3.since it was submerged. Laughing yet? The person I bought it from bought it from the person who submerged it.Second person filled the cylinders with diesel.I put a wrench and 3 foot pipe on the crank and it would not move an iota. Judging from the registration sticker it may have been 7 years since it was submerged.When you're done laughing..... Suggestions of fluids to use to free up have been,mystery oil,ATF,vinegar,brake fluid and WD40.Stop laughing now,be serious.I know "Get a new engine".But I'm stubborn, so best suggestions on what fluid to use and procedure.By the way,it's in an '86 16 foot Bayliner Capri,minor cracks in upholstery,otherwise good,paid $400. Any comments appreciated, between fits of laughter.Thanks"
