    Hey guys, while lying here awake tonight, a thought came to mind. I wonder if that motor came off the transom while running WOT and twisted the crankshaft.  That would account for the tightness when bolted down, and maybe also for the water etching.  I’ve seen some pretty spectacular damage to race engines that did that, (or the boat flipped).  What do y’all think?
