The large dents are on the front. There are some lesser ones on the side. Honestly, the only thing I would be concerned about is if I repaint and want to put new decals on and it would cause issues in applying them. Or the decal that goes on the front. I’ve thought about trying a paintless dent repair kit. Anyway, worried about the mechanical updates first and would get to after duck season. I estimate I would use this motor 4 times or less for that when we need to get aways from a landing on a bigger lake. Most of the time its push pole or trolling motor. BTW, I realized today this is a 54 motor and the duck boat is a 54 Herters. Hadn’t planned that!
I love the learning process. I took a break from cleaning the garage today. Took the top off the top of the motor to see if the coils were bad and was perplexed at how to get the flywheel off. I turned to YouTube and realized I am going to need a puller and strap wrench.
