Alpha 1 Gen II Engine wont turn over
Hi All-
Before I decide to tear open the outdrive, I thought I would check to see if there are any ideas as to the cause of my problem. I was down on the coast this past weekend (in NC) for some great boating and as usual when I return from the coast, I take the boat to a fresh water lake to run all the sal****er out of the system. When I attempted to start the engine it turned over maybe one or two revolutions and then a terrible sounding 'clank' occurred and then it seems that the engine/outdrive was seized. The boat ran flawlessly the entire weekend prior to the failure, so I don't believe the engine itself is seized. Does this sound like a broken U-joint or lower unit gear problem? The gear shift lever seems to function normally. Any advice would be appreciated! Ed |
