Any advice appreciated!
My starboard engine has been diagnosed with a “stacked crank bearing.” My marina can not take my boat (SeaRay 340 SDA, 1988) out of the water due to their lift limitations.
My only option seems to be piloting her to Iuka, MS. The trip is approximately 80 miles through Wheeler Lock and Wilson Lock on the TN River. I’m not confident I can do it myself as I have very limited experience with operating the boat on a single screw. I brought the boat back to the marina and maneuvered into the slip when the engine failure occurred, only about a 5 mile trip in perfect conditions.
I’d appreciate any tips you can offer or if anyone knows someone in the North Alabama area who would be willing to help, I’d be happy to pay for their time and expertise.
