Good point Steve, or Chris! I have a cover that I usually remember to put on
after the boat has dried, but hadn't thought about condensation.

In your scenario Charles, would a boat cover be used or one of those
car/boat port thingies with the fabric roof and sides? Condensation
happens
almost every night but not in a garage. Carpet and plywood interfaces is
what would concern me and dry rot. Gasoline, gasoline tanks, instruments,
electrical connections plastic/lexan windshields, red paint jobs,
gelcoats,
rubbers, gaslines, (ozone damage) would benefit greatly when stored
indoors.

Just for the record... if you store your boat inside a heated and cooled
garage, isn't the temperature difference more extreme when you pull the
boat
outside? Seem like if the boat is stored outside, then it will adapt
easier
to the temperature changes over a period of time, instead of an abrupt
change all at once. Don't ya think?

That's the number 1 cause of gaskets going, hoses cracking etc. I
know
in
many cases it's unavoidable. Your area has pretty harsh temp extremes
too,
doesn't it?

Fortunately it only took a couple minutes. The piston has
very
minor
spatter marks. Looks like it has been getting a little bit of
water
for
quite some time. It was very clean, but fortunately no rust.
The
gasket
just picked now to completely give up. The gasket is
definitely
blown
the
metal rim was gone for over and inch, and a small piece of the
fiber
was
missing directly into one of the water ports.

Even better news. The cylinders have no discernable ridge. I
didn't
mic
it
as I don't have an inside micrometer, but doing the finger
nail
test
I
could
not feel anything at all. I think this motor has very very
few
hours
on
it.
Cool deal.

Sounds rebuildable to me. You, my friend were very lucky.
