    These motors have a weak point in the water pump systems. Some Bail-a-matics have a tendency to wear out too quickly due to the position in the lower unit of the pump. If I got this motor running I’d keep it in my collection and run it now and then, but if I wanted to run a motor to fish, etc. I’d get a mid 50s to 60s OMC. The parts are easier to find and they will have fewer problems… Just my $.02.
