Good day guys, I just received a 30 hp Mariner, 2 cylinder one carb, serial number 30 ML 689 L 331200 that was submerged 5 years ago, and yesterday I got it running.
I managed to get at the stat which was bent, green, full of salt, I.e. carroded. However, in the process of extracting the bolts to get at it, I cracked a portion of where the thermostat goes into (one of the three nuts along with a little bit).
My questions are;
-can this be repaired (cheap or expensive)?
-Do I have to replace the whole piece (i.e. face of the power head, where the thermostat sits, as well were the plugs sit).
-I any event, should I take that whole piece off so I can match/fit it up/bring it somewhere to get fixed?
Thanks for any future help.
