Reply To: Evinrude 7.5 hp – Hard to pull

Thanks guys, I decided to leave it as it is and went ahead and winterized it. Since it runs great once started (does not stall at high speeds), next year I am going to live with it for awhile and go out with my buddies (younger than 57 and with good shoulders ). I am hopeful it does get easier to start as the day goes on. As it usually goes with boats/motors, I am looking on craigslist for a new used fishing boat with an electric start motor (I’ll keep the 7.5 to troll with).
