Hi Carl. You may get the motor running but your largest struggle will probably be to make it a reliable outboard. The crankshaft, bearings, cylinder walls, pistons may be rusted and pitted. If so then this motor will experience premature wear. If you are committed and get the motor running then I recommend to do a full teardown, inspect all parts and have all pitted parts resurfaced by a reputable machine shop. Anyway, my next steps would be to check if the motor has spark and then clean the fuel system and replace all serviceable parts. Before you sink any money in the motor I strongly recommend you to do a cost calculation to see what it may cost to get this one running again and compare that by getting a good running used motor. My guess is that buying a used motor is your best bet from a financial point of view but it will not make for great KZfaq content. Lol Good luck. Look forward to the next video. Steve.

With that amount of sand and rust that came out of the cylinders, the crankcase is certainly full of crap as well. You need to do a total teardown and clean or replace any damaged/rusted parts. Crying shame for a motor with only 21 hours on it. Good luck with it. Keep posting videos on your progress.

If you already have the spark plugs out get a transmission funnel and some ATF and dump it on top of the pistons let it cook for a couple days then blow it out again by turning it over. Looking good so far

Your apparent lack of tools, knowledge and camera skills is a bit concerning but hilarious. Don't let that stop you! I'm subscribed and awaiting your next video

Hope you get it running. Keep us updated.....Good luck

Nice dude! Keep working on it. Motor is looking good 👍

Gained a subscriber! Love watching “salvage” boats get revived!

NOTHING BUT LOVE BRO , I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY MERCURY THANKS FOR THE TIP

Subscribed for more engine and boat elecrtrical salvaging content. Eager to see your experience and if this motor is reliable after the sinking. Wishing you good luck, Keep up the good work!

Let it soak with marvel mystery oil

I can’t wait till next part, I hope you can get it to run!

Great content, especially for someone who also does not really know what they are doing like myself with outboard motors. Thanks for walking through your creative workarounds. Gained a subscriber.

Looking forward to seeing the outcome, make sure to drain all the fluids regardless if they look clean better safe then sorry, marvel mystery oil in the cylinders and let it sit for a couple days would be good. Check the carbs flush flush flush Keep us posted and Best of luck

Very interesting Looking forward to the next video.

Waiting with great anticipation for new boat episode

I love the ingenuity

Waiting to see it run good luck!

Following along good progresss keep it going

Dude. You are an animal!! I'm up in Philly. Jealous up here!! You might be able to find a cheap head or chest strap to hold the go pro. Looking forward to the next video!! Don't give up!! Looking forward to the video of you gliding across water some day soon!!

Our boy with the shelving bar and zip ties 😂 boats can suck, but once you get it going, it will be worth the hassle.

Hey man, might be a good idea to remove the valve cover and give the valve train a good clean up, ideally removing the head would be the best option to really clean the valves and get access to the cylinder walls

Sorry I’m late to the game. Been there done that is why I had to subscribe to this channel. Their are several good comments so far. There is one thing you have to get straight from the start and that is knowing what the word BOAT stands for = BREAK OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND. 😂 Sad but true. Can’t wait to follow your journey! Don’t forget to polish your fuel before you get to far that way you’ll know if your tank is contaminated. There is a product called Boat Dust it is the best product to remove rust from stainless and fiberglass. Best of luck!

Marvel Mystery Oil is the best product to use in the cylinders to break them free and Lube. Also, mix it with the gas when you fire it up

Find replacment gaskets and pull the heads off and give it a good cleaning

Dude love it. Keep up the fight brotha.

Doing great

don't forget to change the oil.......

Get those carbs off Hopefully you can rebuild them. Nice job. Looking foward to more videos

Good job bro but I didn’t think you’d even get it to turnover when it was frozen and especially with plastic straps😂😊 I’d like to see the conclusion to this hopefully you get it running that would be awesome

Love the boat brotha.

HI, Its great that you are trying to get this up and running. 20+ hours gives you opportuinty. You may want to consider sending it to a Suzuki technician to to strip down and Clean out? think of all the time experimenting? Not to mention the EPA disaster spewing gas on you driveway? It IS a good motor so why not get it properly refurb? I would wuggest focus on the Boat repairs while an expert fixes up the motor? A good teardown refurb for a couple grand may give you years of a great motor? Just saying? Not hating. i have a 2001 Optimax purring along... ...Lots of haters on my rig too.

got my fingers crossed 🤞 for ya.

Let's go Carl!

Hey dude just found your Channel very interesting I would love to see this thing crank up and you get out on the water on it! I subscribed so I can see what your next steps were good luck!

You could use the same idea with 2 long bolts with the fly wheel still on it.

The only thing about boats when they break on the water can't exactly walk to get help like most people saying it may run but can you trust to be reliable. My sister lived in Florida years ago car got flooded ran and drove ended up getting total 3 months later corrosion on electronics were on going problem salt water is a killer good luck hope it all works out for you

The lower cowlings come off with 4-5 5/16 screws. Makes cleaning and working on it much easier. Soak those cylinders with atf or marvel mystery, don’t flush with straight gas anymore…. not enough lube ….mix it up with some used oil if you have some. Flush the crankcase a few times as well.

Good luck!

Its gonna run, I know it !

Complete boat rewire is in the future!

You sound like Bill Murray in Caddyshack. Just prop up the GoPro or get a tripod. Please.

Try marvel mystery oil and yamaha ring free treatment.

Hey you need to probably change that hydraulic fluid in that trim ram it’s probably got stuff in it also you need to pull all the electrical plugs on the motor and spray them with a electrical water displacement spray and clean them off and plug them back in and I would pull the plug on the lower unit drain all that lower unit and depending what comes out if water got in and it looks bad I’d probably pull the lower unit and clean all that out good the faster the water gets out of all that the better you are and I see alot of outboard motor techs use just regular wd-40 to spray electrical and everything some of that other stuff gets expensive but definitely change that fluid in that trim before jacking it up and down a bunch if that fluids bad it will burn that pump up on your trim hope this helps

Focus and research....all good you'll figure it out in time....

Keep up the work! Depending on what you paid for this boat. An outboard like that is worth saving. The boat doesn’t look that bad.Good luck! I will make sure to keep up with your progress next time you post.

Guessing you have deep pockets! Love that you're a DIYer too. I have to do the same as most of my maintenance would far exceed my limited budget. Marine shops will tell you that it's not worth the cost and Oh by the way check out this new Suzuki over here for $18000. Good luck with it. I'm thinking you're gonna have to buy the manual and scour KZfaq for how to videos. I'm a graduate of KZfaq University myself... Probably the best thing will be to pull the power head and tear it down so you can get the rest of that crap out of the motor. Deep Creep all of the electrical connections as well. Are you in Texas?

If this was me, I would have taken the power head off, and spent the needed money to give it a full rebuild, most likely will only need new end shells, piston rings and a complete seal gasket set, but by doing what your doing IE: turning it over you probably damaged the boars and pistons, and maybe the crank journals, I could do a full rebuild for my self for under £1k, where if you damage the rest of it your looking at 3-5 times that.

A wise man once said, "if it works, is it really a dumb idea"? Got the motor freed up didn't it? I'd probably check for spark next, then fuel flow. No telling yet if the rotor stator situation is ok with the water damage...

Not trying to say I know much. But it would have maybe east to break loose if you had put some grd # 8 bolts in the top of the crank. Then put your handle in between them. I would have also filled the cyl,s with marvel oil an let it sit a while. An just kept toping them off. While doing other work.

Should have got two long bolts to screw in the holes then put your bar in there but that’s not really how you get it unseized

lol all you have to do to break it free was to pull two bolts across from each other , get two long bolts and bolt your cheater bar to the flywheel.

Are you an hvac guy?

A great, cheaper rust penetrant is transmission fluid.

you must do hvac like me lol

Any more updates?

How long was motor under sea water? or without cleaning in fresh water?

Good job what was the website that you use to find that book?

Get a head mount for your GoPro

Next episode ???

Any updates?

👍👍👍👍👍👍

what did you pay for the package?

Update?

Did you get it running, why wait so long to post a follow-up video, irritating to say the least 💯

Could you maybe not let all that gas run out on the ground ? FL has way too much fuel/oil pollution

you need to purchase a manual for that engine, and slow down and not mess up anything else

Use diesel instead of gas take the fuel injection off open her up and clean it as best as you can put it back and fire her up when she starts let her run on the hoes for a long time . Iv had so many Suzukis it ain’t funny . Best motors ever any one who tells you different don’t know .

Boat

I suggest you don't talk with your mouth full. LOL
