anyone know anything about these motors are they dependable any major problems with these motors, finding parts etc?
i got it for a kicker/trolling motor for my 21' glastron trihull.

also traded my 1977 bayliner with a blown engine and a bad tilt motor for an 1984 9.8 hp merc ss, but i am probably gonna trade that for a good gps ff or some sturgeon gear.

looks like a 9.5, 9.9, 6hp but any running motor for $350 is good, just exactly what is it.
