Have been submerged 2 months ago and only now you will rebuild it!?!?!?
What have you done after take the motor from the water?
Fresh or salt water?
Motor isnīt seized? -
salt water, and i purchased it from someone...Comment

the guy tried to flush it with fresh water but dont think he did a good job.Comment

I would remove the trim unit if it has one, the lower unit and the upper cowling and offer them for sale. Everything else I would scrap.Comment

My guess is that you have a motor for parts...
You're not being very specific but my guess is that motor now must be seized, if not crankshaft bearings must be dead, carb must be junk... so on...
Better take to someone that know what is doing...
have look on youtube for what to do in motors that have been submerged
Good luckComment

it does not cost anything but your time to take it apart yourself to see what all is rusted up.
but expect all of the shiny surfaces to possibly be rusted
if you have to pay someone to do all of the work plus the parts, it will probably cheaper to find a running motor.
no one can predict what your motor will need until someone looks to see what it will need.Last edited by 99yam40; 06-11-2016, 12:22 PM.Comment
