flipping hull with motor?

[mongorunner]

if i drain all fluids, from the tanks on my 00XP, could i flip the hull and leave it that way for say 48 hrs while i redo the gelcoat on it? or would it be better to just pull the motor for safety sake?

thanks

You should pull the motor in my opinion.

Wow someone needs to go do some more blocking, that hull is really wavy . . .j/k it looks great.

I would drain the gas and oil from the tanks and make sure your motor mounts are good and flip it.. The 951 is not near as heavy as the 4 tecs and also you dont need to worry about hydrolocking the engine with oil as it is 2 stoke. I have done this many times while repairing hulls.

right i didnt figure it would make squat being a 2stroke... i was just wondering if it was safe for it sitting for around upside down 2-3 days thanks!

I have never had a problem. I have had them upside down for over a week without any issues.
