Blown Engine on my Cat! UPDATE!!! NEW LUMP IS IN!!!
UPDATE POST 58
Well, it looks as if we have blown the engine on the Cat 30. We ran aground and used the engine to get us back out in the water, it ran fine for a few minutes then died, never to be restarted.
Mechanic failed the engine on compression, and found water in aft cylinder.
They can pull the head and check it all out for us, but thats another 4 hours into a possibly blown engine.
What are our replacement options? It is the Atomic 4 in it now if I am not mistaken.
This is a 1979 Catalina 30.
Thanks!
