Pervious owner nightmare thread

My favorite, though, was on a boat of ours, not the Z. When I reworked the bilge pump system, I came upon a brick in the forward bilge (and of course removed it). . I mentioned the brick in the bilge, and he said, "Yeah, then that's DEFINITELY Dad's boat!" It turns out he used the brick to weight down the old bilge pump (which should have been screwed in place).

Naw, it was just movable ballast!

...and to think he didn't even follow the NEC and use an exterior grade, sealed flap box.

The PO of mine gave me a spare engine that "was just great", found out the mice had been using #6 cylinder as a porty potty and mouse pee will definitely rust the piston solid. A machine shop had to bust it out and because of the rust couldn't bore it. 500# paper weight.
