Boat caught fire. The wiring on top of the engine received some damage, but that is all. The engines got wet with fresh water when they put the fire out. They pulled the injectors and drained the engine. They put oil in the engine. Recommend they be rebuilt. He believes if you take the wiring off, you would never know it was singed. Wiring on top shows signs of heat, but not to the point of exposing copper. He put a pry bar on it, and states the crank is definitely not stuck, it has some movement in the flywheel. The rocker arms are missing in the photos, but they do have them. They are going to put some diesel down the cylinders and work it back and forth to confirm if it turns.
Filled with oil – turned over when that arrived.
Depending on the block, it is possible to convert an electronic to a mechanic, but that will need to be investigated through CAT.
