After over a year of looking, I have finally found a no-compromise motor that looks like it would suit my needs perfectly. It's relatively new, an OMC, new electric trim & tilt motor, and 3cyls. I figure that a 3cyl is a bit better on fuel economy. <br /><br /> http://newyork.craigslist.org/wch/boa/127252444.html <br /><br />The seller replied that he would sell for $800. I shot him an email asking what kind of service has been done on it and when the water impeller was last changed. I feel like I would be inconveniencing him if I asked for a startup demonstration on the water muffs, but it would be important to see that it starts up, right? <br /><br />In an earlier post he wrote, "this is the loop charged inline 3 the more desirable 70, more torque than older 70's." What does that mean?<br /><br />Is there any new hardware that I'll have to buy in order to replace my Evinrude 35? (The boat's max HP rating is 85) I have Johnson Shipmaster controls installed, OMC starter, and a teflex steering system.<br /><br />Any input on the latter or the motor would be appreciated!
<br /><br />Anyhow, the engine is mounted on the transom and its very solid. I used the entire tube of adhesive in every nook and cranny. Next I have to connect the throttle/shift cables, wiring harness, and the choke.
