    Crack in cylinder wall, need insight....

    That's honestly what I'm looking for, I just can't find one near me. I found a few good fits but I'd have to buy the whole boat. I'm willing to drive really far our and spend the night in a hotel if I can find one within 1000km of me.

    I'm not sure I'd trust myself bring 10 miles into any body of water even with a new engine. Luckily we don't have anything like that around here. Can you elaborate on why it would need a rebore? The sleeve inside is not aluminum and I'd just be welding the aluminum block. But will the bracket...

    Crack in cylinder wall, need insight....

    Wow! Shipping to Canada must be really expensive on top of the conversion rate, but still cheaper than a new motor. Only thing is it takes the fun out of it. I noticed they sell blank sleeves. Does anyone have any opinions if I weld the block and replace the sleeve in the future? I probably...

    Crack in cylinder wall, need insight....

    Yeah I'm aware of the cracks getting worse. But theoretically, even if they made it all the way down towards the crank I'd still get compression correct? In denial again, however at this point I'd like to just salvage some more life out of it. What companies? I've searched online and I find a...

    Thanks for the insight everyone. It's as I suspected but as you all mentioned I'm in denial. There really is no more money to sink into it.... It's all been paid for and just has to be put back together. At this point I am going to make the welds in an attempt to salvage my dignity and hope to...

    Thanks Nordin, first time hearing of Belzona 1111. I don't think I'm going to use it on the crack in the block because I'm not sure how its going to react with the heat. However there will be a time this product will pop into my mind in a future product!

    I find myself coming to these forums a lot for this project. So far I've gotten so many useful answers to fix my issues. However this one seems like its dreadful. Long story short... I bought my first boat, with my first outboard a 1971 105 HP. Motor had issues getting it started but I got it...

    Spraying metal flake

    So... I'm 89.6% certain its paint. Is there a test that would damage gel coat and not paint? That way if my assumption is correct, nothing happens.

    Spraying metal flake

    Thanks, these were the answers I was looking for. I have old 1970s turquois paint on there. I'm fairly certain its paint and not gelcoat, I rubbed alcohol on it and it didn't shine up. I am just having a hard time finding the best budget option for the clear coat to mix with. I was thinking of...

    Spraying metal flake

    thank you, I currently have old marine paint on the hull. I read somewhere that clear gelcoat will not adhere properly to paint. any truth? Thanks for the link it was very informative.

    Spraying metal flake

    Hey guys, I picked up my first boat ever this year. It's been really fun, up until the motor died. I am in the process of a full rebuild on that. However while waiting for the block from the machine shop I decided to paint the outboard and the engine parts that I had and it started to look...
