Well I'll be back on the water soon after all. As it turns you can buy a good used engine for the price of fixing an old used broke engine. In my case an '86. The replacement is 2003 merc 75hp 2 stroke on an 87 maxum bowrider with a matching trailer. All for the price of a rebuild. The boat is a lit...

Went to the show, met bobber, Hi Again! bought a hat. Not a bad rainy april day.

Now I've sent you a PM.

Hi Mike thanks for the PM. You confirmed what others have said. For me its a toss up between buying a good used or fixing it. At the end of the day my motor is an still an '86 even after a rebuild. I'll keep lookin' for a good used until until i make up my mind to fix it or not.

The engine is a 1986 4 cylinder. Does anyone have an idea based on experience what the cost might be to fix something like this? I’d welcome comments from the mechanics out there as well.
Thanks.

I have sent a PM.

Looking for advice about what kind of set I should consider. I've heard there is a bar set up that connect the kicker to the main motor so you steer the kicker with the main motor or just go with a long handle extention and hang out at the back of the boat. Any experience with either?

Thanks

If any hawkers and family are in the Charleston Lake area july20 th weekend camping, resorting and/or fishing. Take in the fair in Lansdowne. If your a summer regular, kids can put crafts in the kids section and win ribbons and stuff. For some reason the rest of my family don't like fishing as much ...

I found a couple of web sites for you to check out. I read that it might say under the cover of your motor. Anyway check these sites and more oil is usually better than less.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I generally head out from the outlet on Charleston. I've just really got back back into sport fishing after long hiatus of busy life and raising a family (lots of sunfish). Its been great and wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks for the post Seaweed. I thought it was quite fitting I read about it here. As for Red. You can post a message online but it might be a bit late. I raise my glass to Red. Thanks for the memories and to create the desire to fish. :cry: Bernard (Red) Fisher Private Arrangements Memorial Donation...
