    To anyone that is tracking this or contributed. Thank you! This saga continues and the Westerbeke generator that still sits in my garage which i have since found is a 4kw. I have continued to pour Marvel Mystery Oil into the cylinders and attempt to rotate the crank shaft and it moves with...

    Thank you for the info. I was expecting that everything on the back end could be removed and then I am just transporting the engine. From your description there is a high chance of damage if a novice like me attempts to do this. Trying to move around the 300+lbs is a very difficult for myself...

    Hi dwna1a, Thanks again for all your support along my journey. I think I have found guidance on removing the backend of the generator. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/681490/Westerbeke-5-0kw-Bcg-60hz.html?page=13#manual Any advice or suggestions if I do try to tackle this? Thanks so much...

    Thank you dwna1a, Just looking for opinions. Do you think that makes sense as I am going to need to move it around to the small engine mechanic then back to the boat. It is impossible to move in and out of truck from the ground by myself or really even with two. Do you think the separation...

    Is it possible to remove the engine from the "electrical generator part" which would make it easier to transport or is it a complicated task to separate? Thank you, Roger

    Update! Another huge thank you to everyone in this community for your help over the past months with my generator challenges (see the journey above). We tried and we tried to free this up while in the boat with no luck. I have the generator out of the boat and home in the garage. I will ATF...

    Yes she was hydrolocked (there was water in cylinders) but after removing plugs it still will not turn over. It still makes the same clunk and does not turn over (see original thread video). Is there a way to manually turn it to break the sieze? I also read that I may want to remove impeller...

    UPDATE Thank you everyone. Made the 2 hr drive. We have the plugs out, have emptied the water from the cylinders and still same thing it will not turn over just the clunk. I put some seafoam in each cylinder and will leave over night and try again in the morning. Is there any way to break...

    Thank you, We have pulled the oil already as we were looking for water in there as we first were troubleshooting. Problem is the boat is in a private marina with no services onsite and in a location where getting a mechanic is weeks away. The boat is 2 hours away form me so relying on my super...

    Thank you PlayDate. This is really helpful. I have read that with the right extensions, and contortions it is possible ;) Another huge thank you to everyone that has offered their time and expertise on this problem. I am hoping that I can repay you with updates of my success. Any which way I am...
