[QUOTE="mmf, post: 458038, member: 4379"] Well, both engines were seized...after removing plugs and numerous applications of penetrating oil, transmission fluid, marvel mystery oil, engine oil,...i was able to get one motor freed up..the other one will not budge at all!...tried all my tricks...so gonna have to remove that one, lay side-ways, and fill it up with lube and let sit a couple of weeks...hopefully, pistons will let loose, otherwise i will be hunting a powerhead for a 55 hp...keep your ears open... Also, steering completely froze too...cable seized up Boat gonna have to have a new transom, completely rotten...pinholes from moisture/corrosion on transom, ate thru transom aluminum...all wood on boat, worm bedding!...undecisive about project...might end up selling for a lesser labor intensive one...
