Thanks! And yes, I agree, bringing it to the shop isn’t a long-term option and I wouldn’t have if I didn’t feel they were a fair outfit. Recently for instance, they found a nice $100 used prop in their warehouse for my 115 hp Yamaha on my bowrider and asked if it was OK if they just put it on at no charge since I had the boat with me. Anyway, thanks again and I will PM you for that manual. I’d love to start working on it more myself once we get it back. I will also look into getting a compression tester and how to do that on older outboards. Most of the YouTube videos show it being done on newer ones.
