I've worked on a lot of things; houses, cars, atvs,&dirtbikes, dumptrucks, farm machinery, and personal watercrafts, since I was little.....my dad and I would pour fiberglass into the water intakes of our wetbikes, so the the water would rush faster.....
And all I have to say about an outdrive that has sat, whether it be at the dock, or on the trailer, is that she's rusted tight....probably because it was hardly used in forty years, and never pulled out to properly grease and replace some imporant pieces...I don't have a garage, nor a set of torches......215e is off, hanging upside down with wooden shims....does heating really work, or fill it up with the PB creep? Also, gimbal bearing, is missing the inner pieces, so nothing to grab with a slide hammer....though some units can be turned sideways and taken out, or drove out from the inside of boat...but who knows, because I can't find material that states how on this Merc sterndrive......I will get torches, and try Boatinfo.com when I get home. Emptied two 77 gallon tanks, then lifted and lowered out by my lonesome last weekend...I have my ways.......they are metal, and would make perfect truck bed gas pumps......motor is next, to turn upside down.....plumbing removed.....should I use pex, or something else.....I have all pumps, and a 2 gallon water heater.....
I'll use just about anything, if I see it laying there.....
