Hi Guys, I was out with the family for a cruise yesterday and must have picked up a piece of kelp at the beach... Long story short, the intake must have been blocked and the engine overheated. Once it cooled I refilled with fresh water and tried to restart but the starter couldn't turn it over. I also hooked up a booster pack in case the battery was weak, but no luck. I couldn't figure out a way to try manually turning the motor so just relaxed for a long putt home on the kicker.
Anyway, its a Volvo 3.0GS motor with an SX leg. Any tips of things I might be able to check at home or where to take it would be greatly appreciated. It looks like I would have to pull some engine mounts in order to get at the crankshaft to try turning it.
