I just wanted to find out if any one has had any kind of problems with this motor. For me this motor has run great but where I take my boat it could be a week at times before a nother boat could come by. I live in Alaska and spend alot of time on the Yukon river and rivers farther north. I would like to be prepared as possible in case something does go wrong. Thanks for the information. ONLY FOUR MORE MONTHS TILL SPRING!
