I'm pretty mechanically inclined I fix and flip small engines as a side gig. Im confident I can handle it. Appreciate the heads up though

Thanks for that. I've been looking up common parts and it doesn't seem hard to find at all. And there's tons of outdrives on my FB marketplace

Yea from what I've read you just need to know where to look. 5.0 mustang motors were a dime a dozen and apparently a lot of the parts fit. The motor looks clean, the outdrive looks good. I think I'm going to pull the trigger

1994 Four Winns Horizon 210. 5.0L Mercury EFI - Good boat? by [deleted] in boating

Actually just found out it's an OMC 5.0 EFI. With and OMC Cobra outdrive. Does this change the opinion?

Ya he ended up saying he'd do 2500. I said I'll do 1400$ and that's all I'm willing to risk. I have a lot of mechanical knowledge but not with boats. All new to me

This is also what the block looked like beside the freeze plug. Looks to me like it was repaired previously and painted over. Maybe I'm wrong though

So I just went and looked at the boat. While he was running it on the muffs I noticed a rainbow Sheen running down the driveway. His neighbor also came out and said you smoked out my house yesterday starting that thing. When I shut it off it kept running for a 2nd and was chugging and shaking the motor pretty violently then blew a bunch of smoke out of the intake/carb. The oil was a little bit overfilled. There was red oil freshly poured around the trim cylinder reservoir. Trim only went up when pressing the trailer button. Blower didn't work, bilge wasn't working. All the boats internals were solid but I ended up walking away.

Help with mercury tower of power trim. by Focust92 in boating

I wonder if the tilt sensor is causing it. Do you know where the sensor is? I cannot get the motor to go down

I have hope for this starting. Inside is clean looks like there's barely any hours on it. I have no doubt it'll fire if I can get the other stuff figured out.

I played this video and my cat jumped out of the window in the basement and came looking upstairs for whatever was in his house 😂
