Monark pro 170 boat parts3/16/2024 ![]() However, i already removed the engine from the boat and it now rests on a huge stand i built for it.i probably overdid it, but better safe than sorry.the engine must weight like 300 lbs.so i used 2圆's and big bold and lots of 3" & 4" wood screws the engine can hang straight down over the pit without touching anything, just open air below.so, it's cool. I am lucky to have a friend who has a huge barn and has allowed me to store and work on the boat in the barn.and better yet, the bay that I am using is heated!!! it's getting cold here in upstate NY.so i just put it inside a few days ago.it's pretty cool, the bay I am using was actually used as a truck / tractor and auto repair bay, it has a pit in it, to work under vehicles, so i just pulled the trailer in right over the pit. Ok.so, i have embarked on a winter project.we'll see far i get. I hope I have given you guys a general understanding of what I am dealing with.any questions and/or comments and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a few images of the boat when I first got it.before any work was done to it. Additionally, I have another friend who has a beautiful sand blasting machine which I can use to clean any of the engine parts. I am not sure about the engine yet.it really depends upon how much I will have to spend on the parts.i plan to completely dis-assemble the entire engine (every nut and bolt) and have a mechanic friend of mine give it the once over to let me know what parts are good and what need to be replaced. I plan to completely rebuild / restore the om keel to glass, deck, stringers, bulkheads, gas tank, etc.everything will be re-built stronger and better than original. So, with all this said, here are my intentions. Trailer - in great condition, needs new tires and full electrical system.but otherwise, in good shape. In general and as expected.a complete rebuild depending upon how much i will have to spend in parts. carbs completely shot, oil and fuel pumps completely shot, all fuel and oil lines shot, most of the electrical is sted and corroded, flywheel is ok but rusty, magnetos under flywheel shot.all rusted, i actually broke quite a few of the head bolts and other miscellaneous bolts while taking apart the engine. It looks as though a small rodent (chipmunk or mouse) had mad its home inside the engine and the carb areas.lots of acorn scraps, a nest in the carb cover, lots of urine pitting all over the lower half of the engine. outboard engine.Įngine - The engine is "relatively" shot (but i was able to turn the flywheel with a breaker-bar and a socket on the flywheel), so that was a good sign that the engine was not seized, unable to determine the condition of the wiring harness as the gear shift in the engine was rusted / frozen. This is probably due to pulling boat up on shore.small wear areas in different areas on bottom of hull. Drain hole rotted and under drain hole on bottom of hull.worn out and exposing bottom wood edge of transom wall. All holes in the hull show signs of wear and rot behind them (where screws were put through). The deck was completely rotted (with heavy moss growing on/in and under it), rotted transom, electrical shot, broken windshield on drivers side, all seats and seat cushions completely rotted and soaked, stern compartment covers rotted and soaked, aluminum gas tank full of gas but in great condition. fiberglass hull, plywood deck/stringers and bulkheads. Upon my initial inspection, I found what everyone would suspect (i will explain this in categories - boat, engine and trailer).īoat - 16.5 ft. It was originally owned by an older couple, who bought it new and used it a little bit in the summers and only in fresh water in upstate New York. My friend informed me that this boat has been sitting outside, uncovered for about 10 years. So, after looking it over, i decided to take it off his hands. He's not a boat person and just wanted it off his property. I will be documenting, photographing and recording my rebuild of a 1986 MonArk 171 with a 1986 Suzuki DT115 outboard engine.īack in November of this year (2011), a friend of mine who is an auto mechanic gave me a 1986 MonArk 171 with a Suzuki DT115 outboard engine. ![]()
