The carb and magneto is pretty simple..but the lower unit was all new to me. I was ripped up by 4 separate mechanics..My last time..I typed a bad review on line at his site and gave the man the motor..Where I fish at..a 55 pound thrust is all ya need.
IF my dad lived here..I'd buy an outboard.he's the best meachanic I've ever new..A long time ago I brought him a 1953 Wizard by Western Auto...It had no theads for the sparkplug..nothing but rock hard crystals in the gas tank..all the carb gaskets were gone..and in 3 hours he had her running..I have a picture of it somewhere..will post latter{-;
My dad is now 81 and put a head gasket last week in his 1931 Motel T Ford..{ -; the man is good.
Phil is correct...I bought a manual as well from IBoat..50.00 ...I also downloaded a parts list { -; almost the same thing..for free..from IBoats as well.
