Waiting to see if an overnight soak of PB Blaster worked. Air wrench and two pounder wouldn't budge the two bolts I need to remove in order to lift off... At least I know the transom is sound and that motor wasn't going to fall off...
Since it is laid up, I am also going to change fuel pumps, the sending unit in the fuel tank and replace the bilge pump if I can't make the float switch like new. Fuel tank is galvy, so getting the plate off is going to be a challenge. Boat and motor are 1993, so some of this is (over)due. I maintain stuff, but things still wear out. B.O.A.T. = break out another thousand.
