That’s a great motor for a newby to work on. It’s fairly simple and you don’t need any special tools except maybe a flywheel puller. Those 3hp motors were made for many years without much change. It was such a good design there was no need to make significant changes. Pretty much bullet-proof. I have 2 of them now and have had maybe a dozen over the years. They were all good runners and I didn’t consider any of them “parts motors”. If you’re in the market for a great little trolling motor, you’ve found it!
