I am currently trying to figure out the best way to help a family sell off the remaining marine engines and outdrives that their uncle had left them in his estate.
Since we are a couple hours away from a major city it will be a bit harder and I am thinking of stripping the motors of the parts that will be worth the time...say anything that may be worth over $50...and then trying to find someone to buy the blocks or call the recyclers.
I have about 16 almost complete marine engines..a couple of power plants and maybe 30 or so outdrives plus a bunch of random stuff like fresh water cooling things..exhaust manifolds, carbs, intakes. flywheels and that sort of thing.
Hoping that some of you in 'the know" can help me out by telling me what I should strip off these before having them hauled off.
And if there are any test techniques for the parts to see if they are working or not that would be greatly helpful as well.
I know this is a big task and a lot to learn and ask help on but not sure how else to go about it except to dive in and figure stuff out.
Thank you.
