Firstly,
Thanks to all the frequent and knowledgeable posters who make this site such a great resource. I've gleaned a lot of info and hope to be able to offer likewise assistance in the (near) future.
I was about to replace a decrepit water lift muffler with a new standpipe, but realized deeper issues need attention. Given the state of the mounting flanges (?), among other things, I'm thinking a total rebuild is in order.
The boat is in the water & I'm not planning to have the yard crane the engine out.
Is it possible/advisable to remove the engine in components instead of whole? Then I'd have it boiled, machined, etc., as needed. (I do have the overhaul manual and PO installed a few MMI upgrades.)
Is rebuilding also possible onboard?
Attached are a couple pics of what I'm working with.
Thanks much!
