Thanks guys. Yes I am thinking I have to pull the engine. But I want to sail! Lol. I really doubt it has rusted through. There is very little corrosion anywhere. Yes it is low in the damp bilge area but over top of the keel forward of the deep bilge area if that makes sense. Great access to the top of the motor but hardly any to the bottom. I can get a few fingers under there but I don't feel any rust. I will try to get a a view with a mirror this weekend.

I also feel oil on the bottom of the flywheel and there is the typical oil running along the carb side of the motor. All this is higher than the oil pan so that's what has stumped me. I also plan to check that drain plug near the flywheel before doing anything yet.
