hi
I am new to boating, I bought a second hand fishing boat over the summer. The aux engine is a 2004 4hp four stroke suzuki. Been an idiot I watch a couple of videos on youtube on changing the impeller and from that thought I was master at small outboard jobs, was still thinking this until I spent 2 hours trying to get gear unit and drive shaft all the way in. I left it in neutral to start, tried turning the shaft slightly, changed gears still not going that last inch, even pulled the starter cord slightly. The main engine although not for this page an evinrude 60 vro is getting looked at already, it sometimes struggles to get on the plain other times seems perfect, hence I was trying to avoid the cost of both. any idea's would be most welcome thanks steve
