Hello All,
The boat was hard to start after sitting for a month under cover and seemed low on power but I contributed that to have two extra people in the boat. The M60 (Serial A11078) made a metal to metal sound after getting out on the water as the RPM increased and I immediately shut it down. The compression is now at 30PSI on #1 with #2 and #3 at 150PSI. The water pump was working fine at the time.
Is there any last ditch check to make sure it is not sticking rings on #1? If not, is it practical to rebuild? I have the SELCO book but my motor rebuilding experience is limited to Briggs&Stratton and SkiDoo. The ignition wiring is also very brittle and probably cannot be removed without being wrecked. Any idea on a cost estimate?
Thank you for your help,
Scott
