Hey all,
Was out with my son doing our usual perch fishing tonight. Boat running fantastic like always. She is powered by a 1968 55 horse, which I absolutely love. On the way back in the exhaust note changed, followed by the boat slowing to a crawl. Shut it off and ran back to the launch on the trolling motor, and upon pulling the engine cover found a 1" square hole in the crankcase... I totally understand the age of the engine, but I am insane with maintenance on it. What would cause this?
On another note, racerone, the company I work for is headquartered in Toronto, and if you have a power head that would work on her, I am willing to pay.
