So on Saturday, driving down the river at about RPM, the boats stalls and comes to a stop. Would not even try to start, acted like no power to starter. So i took off cowl and could not turn the flywheel (with spark plugs out) tilted motor up and could barely turn the prop. Heard a click, then the boat would try to start, but wouldn't budge. Got home and drained the lower unit and found about 1/2 water 1/2 or less oil, pretty obvious that it is fried. So the question is can the motor be seized up cause the lower unit is? the motor is on a fresh rebuild, around 5-7 hours on it. I'm wondering cause i cant afford to rebuild the lower unit till next spring, and i got a warranty on the power-head and don't want to wait till spring and have my warranty run out? thank you in advance for all response's
