Hi fellas quick run down, first boat Ive owned and Im no mechanical wiz but have a good basic understanding of things.The motor,firstly are these generally a good motor? secondly I have just had a full melt down of the stator and subsequently the rectifier went as well,my mechanic has since pulled the motor down due to low compression and found that the heat generated from this event broke down the oil and intern seized the bearings on the crank shaft creating bad spawling.My question is with a motor this old is it worth spending the money to hone cylinders, re-ring and replace the crankshaft or look for a newer used motor bearing in mind money is the key issue here.If I go ahead with the rebuild is there anything else I should look for after this damage.All coments appreciated
