Re: 1973 Monterey 2585 bringing her back to life
I attempted to break them lose using the crank bolt but that wasn't working.
That's why I took the dampener off, so I could use a proper crank hub socket to rock the crank back and forth. You won't do that with the bolt of the Rings are stuck at all.
Btw, the engines only had about 250 hours on them.

Can you adapt a garden hose to the hose leading from the sea cock?

Into a heat exchanger if fresh water cooled. Then out the exhaust manifolds and back down the drive exiting through the prop.
If the pump has any vanes on it after sitting for 16 years they will all be gone after a couple revolutionS of the engine.
Then no cooling water to the engine.
