My 28 hp Evinrude I think from the 70's has a shear pin. But the plastic nut is held with a cotter pin.

Just a few minutes, scrub it around a bit and have half a beer.

Pressure washer will be fine but neutralize the hull first with backing soda or the like.

Nothing wrong with that system. Make sure the seacock is in good shape, bedded properly, with a ball valve. There are thousands of them in service all over the world. Plugging it off means it's still there and can fail as you will never look at it again.

Till my calibrated elbow tells me is just right.

If we knew what you had, we could let you know.

Encasing treated wood don't work to well as it makes the epoxy hard to stick/stay on there. it's wet from the treating chemicals.

When replacing the floor, do not use treated plywood. It does corrode the aluminum.

I think I would use the primer; it will help the paint stick better. besides, the primer helps you see where the repairs are needed better. I always prime/ sand and repair defects while I'm there, after repairs I prime again.

Makes we wonder if a battery leaked and got down there. Scrub it with baking soda just to make sure its neutralized.

I don't mind swells as long as they are farther apart, to close together and you get kicked hard! And the swells can contain wave also.

Them small hunting stools? Light, easily stored and canvass seat. Kids don't care what they sit on as long as they can sit.

Pictures please. Depends on how deep the pitting is.

Had one at the shop that did that. Owner did everything mentioned, Still had issues. After looking at myself and scratching my head, a new housing fixed it.

I wouldn't take off the heads just yet. Making more work than needed. It might be fine? Turning by hand is a bit hard to do as there are many moving parts to get to move around. Why not try the starter? Disconnect and ground the coil wire and give it a crank. Putting oil in the cylinders is...

I think it's time to shampoo all the carpet, headliner, everything related every nook and cranny to eliminate mold or other strange dirt. Boats are wet no matter how dry they seem.

Looks like paint to me. If the hull was neglected, some will paint them to make it look nice again. taping around the transom housing the easy way, then add caulk to cover the paint line.

Start at the battery, clean all connections shiny clean. Move on to the starter, grounds at the back of the block, and any connection you can find. let us know the results.

I hate the 4-piece gaskets, one-piece ones are the way to go.

Welcome to the site. After three posts you can put up pictures, that would help us help you. Any posts will do. Is there a serial number anywhere on the motor or clamp bracket?
