Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
I don't know. It just bothered me when I heard a ping, although I have seen guys on Youtube with 4ft cheater bars and hitting the starter at the same time in order to break a stuck engine free, which seemed crazy to me, but they got them running and they didn't smoke afterwards.
My boat sat for a couple of years during Covid. I changed the oil and primed the engine without starting it. I pulled the plugs and fogged the cylinders with oil. Later, I proceeded to try and turn the engine over by hand at the crank pulley. I would apply approximately 50lbs of force on a 18"...
