    Motor won't shut off

I let...

    Broken cavitation plate

    The motor is a 1988 115 Yamaha. I have had saltwater corrosion issues with it before, the lower gear housing cracked in 2 different spots, but were successfully welded.

    I have looked everywhere I can think of and cannot find any price info on these motors. I don't expect them to be cheap, but would like a ballpark $ on a 115 and 130. If anyone can tell me or steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

    I'm trying to mount a Hummingbird Matrix 27 Transducer thru hull. The directions specify a slow cure 2-part epoxy. Does this fit the bill or am I asking for trouble?

    4.5 Seahorse model year?

    Searched this with no luck. Model number is J5RHCNR. I tried to start it today and the rope would only recoil about a 1/3 of the way back in. I loosened the nut holding the assembly a little too far and was quite suprised when the coil came flying out! Any help with the year/recoil schematic...

    Garmin GPS12 worth fixing?

    My unit will power up but will not locate a satellite. It is "brand new", it sat in the box with batteries for 3 years before I got it. I contacted Garmin and they said to send it in for repair for $59.00. <br />My question is; is it worth it? I don't need anything too fancy, just the basics...
