Okay, so I threw down $250 and picked up the combo. I figure that the complete exterior harness is worth almost that to me… making the boat, trailer and motor almost free. Junction box inside is clean, clean, clean compared to what I’m used to seeing.
Initial question is on the controls. Single lever has a cable to a pulley on one side of what looks like a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder then has two tubes to two cables for the F-N-R linkage and throttle. What’s this called. Is it worth keeping? it seems to work and may just need some adjusting.
Motor is likely locked up, didn’t get to spend enough time with it to know. It has rained here steady for three days. Inside the cylinders didn’t look bad, though. No oil in the foot, so maybe that is the issue. Will start to tinker when the sun returns to the Florida panhandle.
Don’t know the make of the trailer or boat, will have to work on that. Let me know if any of you have any suggestions.
Might make the boat a reward to the two boys if they make good enough grades/Boy Scout advancement. Just need to find a decent 25 horse Yammy or Zuki for salt water use in the bay.
