"Hi all! First time on these
"Hi all! First time on these boards.
I'm looking at buying a boat currently with this motor on it. Everything seems to be in order including the price, but I'm wondering if this motor suffers from any inherent problems. Are there any considerations to be taken into account with this motor? I realize that sometimes you can have issues due to "normal" failures etc, due to age/use/preventative maintenance.
I'm simply trying to avoid buying this and then ending up with a neat prop for my yard when the motor goes out. The plan if we buy, is to have this thing tuned up and checked out right away, but if it's a time bomb, I'd rather avoid it...
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
