Hello forum members,
I am a nube when it comes to out board engines. I have an opportunity to buy a boat with a 2002 Honda 50 on it. Per the owner, it runs fine, and has been dealer serviced regulary. It has been run in salt and fresh water, and only run 2-3 times over the last year.
After looking over the forms and previous automotive experience, I am (dangerously) confident in doing a very basic inspection. Runs vs not, peeing well, inspect inside cover, review service records, and run it up on the water, ect.
My plan is to replace the impeller assembly complete, along with t-stat, and flush when I get her home. (along with a service manual).
Can anyone help with gauging the Hours? (no meter), and Big points to cover?
Thanks for any and all help.
I look foreward to getting help here, and returning the favor when I can.
