Re: Corsair 7.5 Value

[20mercman]

I have a 53 5hp Corsair and a 56 7.5hp. I totally agree that they were very well engineered motors for their time. The 53 was in the "Free" pile at Tomahawk two years ago, and even though we needed another motor like I needed another hole in my head, it followed us home. 🙄 We were able to have Brian Wilcox make an impeller for us, and with only minor work, it runs great. As for the 56, it was given to us, and it was stuck, and also the lower unit had issues. We were able to rebuild it and new seals and bearings later it works great. I also have a 53 Golden Pennant that is the same as the Corsair. I have not done anything to it, but it is in really nice condition. I am really a Mercury guy, but I am also a fan of the other brands like Scott!
