[QUOTE="Weldorthemagnificent, post: 474180, member: 22139"] They are good motors. I have one, a 1983 35, same motor they changed from powerhead to propshaft HP somewhere around 85 so 30 is the same. I paid 400 Canadian for mine without being able to see it run. Replaced impeller and it fired up and ran great, been using it for 4 years. Its worth 7-800 here running, more if it's electric start. I'd try to start it, don't use ether. If it fires on fresh fuel mix and the pee stream looks good, I'd run fuel mix with seafoam through it. Then change the impeller so you know it's good. Decarbonizing with tune up spray is a good idea too. With a prop that looks like it was used to spread gravel on a driveway, I'd be replacing lower unit oil and watching carefully for leaks. And of course a new prop. Sent from my CLT-L04 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
