Hello all
I have searched threads and hope I am not asking a common question.
I have a 25hp 2005 high thrust four stroke. It has been on my 38ft catamaran for 5 years and has been flushed about 3 times (every time I antifoul). It has been serviced but the mechanic has never adjusted the valves. He says they never go out. I would like to do a major service on it myself and would like to go after the salt that is probably in it.
I am am happy to get a good manual and work through it but a couple of questions first. As a cruiser I would like to know my motor very well so I can fix it if it goes wrong somewhere. (It has been a very solid motor so far)
Would the internal anode be a problem yet?
How do I best check for salt in the guts?
Is saltaway good enough or should I pull it down and look inside?
Can a reasonable amateur (I have built as few boats) do a major service on this type of motor?
Thanks
Phil Thompson
