Re: Help With a Martin 75 Twist Shift Neutral Clutch

[Tubs]

Somebody has been in this motor before me. All the
fasteners are loose. Even the spark plugs. The old
impeller was tied to the tiller. Apparently when the
motor got put back together the impeller pin and
plate were left out. Missing parts will be a big
problem because I wont know what they are. So far
the motor seems to be in good condition inside but it
needs coils, condensers, seals, impeller, that plate,
a prop shaft bearing, plugs and wires so far. Add
paint, decals, and a new grip so it looks as it did
and what ever else I may find and I’ll have more in
it than its worth. I seem to be and expert at doing
that but when you get a motor on the boat for the
first time and fire it up and it runs well none of
that stuff seem to matter. If it doesn’t run well
or won’t even start? Well I guess I just didn’t spend
enough. 😥

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
