So the situation is this.
The boat had been sitting for a year or so, and I dont think it was winterized or anything for a long time. So This last summer I tried to fix it but needed to drill out and replace some threads on the block (the exahust cover threads). And that worked for the most part, but it started blowing white/grey smoke and missing really badly. So over the winter weve been thinking of trying to compleatly rebuild the motor. Im looking for input and what others have done in this situation. Whether to rebuild i think i would have to get another power head (I probably ruined it too much from the new thread tapping). Try and find another motor thats usable or rebuild/swap the parts.
oh yeah, also the tilt trim motor/hyrdalic cylinder is gone too, rebuild advice, or buy a used one.
anyways looking for rebuild advice on a 1986 yamaha 50hp, or other input.
thanks in advance.
