    1991 250 hp with some “Marine Age” hour meter wasn’t working at time of purchase, application is pocket seiner in Alaska, keel cooled with wet exhaust, she turned into a winter project. We dropped the pan to inspect   Bearings and everything looked great, almost time to put her back in.IMG_0318IMG_2356IMG_0319IMG_0391IMG_0392

    Engine Prep

    we sandblasted the block, the primer is zinc based and has awesome corrosion protection

    How did you clean/prep that engine? Never seen one so bare of paint & rust. Also, what is the green paint/primer. Thx

    “SoCal Tony” always wonders how I get so much work done on the boat here in the northeast winter offseason with all the cold weather but your second photo sure has me beat – it looked a bit “nippy” that day.

    Speaking of cold – Don’t forget a Wolverine pan heater while she’s out…
