    The entire lower unit was put together (gears, etc) and seal kit installed including new impeller, etc, etc. by Dave’s Boat repair. When I picked the boat up, the motor was ready to go….I get the feeling they don’t like working on my motor, and I’m just sick about all of this…I really need a resource that can help me locally..Someone who actually knows and loves these old outboards. I’m very happy to pay someone to help get this thing running right!

    It’s so frustrating because I hear about how reliable these motors are, etc. etc, and every season, I still break down and new a tow back to the boat launch…It’s a beautiful, well maintained motor, so I’m just at a loss…Everyone is afraid to go out on the lake with me because this motor has such potential for problems…I just don’t get it, and I continue to pour money into the thing…just venting, and tired of it..I want to enjoy it..thanks again
