Here is some pics of a crew I pulled out of the marsh. I bought it from owner and have been working on getting her back to normal. Check out pic of clutch. Magnesium plate and saltwater don't mix.hotobucket.com/albums/x368/Yellowfin70/1-9-11017.jpg[/IMG]

 

I cant believe how badlly the salt water ate that clutch!!!

 

Besides having to replace the clutch, what else have you had to do ?. Have you been able to get it started yet ?.
It looks to be in great shape otherwise.

 

Makes yuh almost have to ask " how long was it under water?????".

 

At high tide it was underwater, like in picture, for atleast a couple hours. For about a week. I wish I would have found it when it first got stuck. So far I have clutch and wiring harness to put in. Everything else is working fine. I flushed every nook and cranny with salt free and flooded engine and tranny with diesel and oil. Hope to have running by thursday.

 

What A shame.....but if the price was right.

 

Glad to see the machine will be in a better home!!!

 

i wish i had so much money i could get a expensive machine like that stuck and leave it there for someone else to find and keep man man like moose said at least now it will be used and not left in the salt water to rot i hope you can get her running good probably was a pain to get out? good luck

 

Here is a good read about why that happened and how its prevented using zinc plates.....
