    Fuel System Fire

    The only power in that area would have gone to the vro fuel pump. What did you do to disconnect the wires running to the pump?

    Hub weight rating

    No rating on hubs per se. The bearings determine the load. Same bearing size, same load FWIW…..the seal in the tractor supply kit isn’t the best. Consider getting a higher quality seal for marine use.

    Cable guard

    Glad nobody was hurt….my first and only accident (age 17) was a tangle with a cable guard as well. While I currently own one, I’m not a fan of pickups in adverse conditions. The best vehicle I’ve owned for adverse conditions was a 2002 4WD Tahoe.

    Tire grew in size?

    Older 4-stroke or newer 2-stroke?

    Hard to beat a Honda for reliability….done with 2 strokes You didn’t say how many hours are on each motor. Would take an older motor over one that is worn out or neglected Buddy is a saltwater fishing guide. Puts 4,000-5,000 hours on a BF250 in before swapping out.
