Re: Would you buy it?

If/when they overheated, they would tend to loose a head gasket. People would sometimes fix the pump but not the head gasket; and continue to use the motor, even if it ran poorly. This would lead to an etching/eroding of the head and block gasket sealing areas, making the power head useless. It didn’t take very long for it to happen, either. Salt water motors were, of course, worse. I am not saying for sure that this will be your problem, but it did happen.

Long live American manufacturing!
