[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 469735, member: 15465"] So here is more of the story... The main reason I wanted a parts motor is that the 18 hp motor I originally bought has a cracked steering bracket/handle. It still works but is bent & definitely cracked. Motor must have been dropped or maybe wedged the transom hard when motor hit a rock. I didn't notice it pre-buy, wish I would have, as the used replacement is costing me $60. (which is about what the parts motor cost) Funny, the parts motor's (which is no longer a parts motor) steering bracket has also been welded, so this must be a common failure. I opted to buy a used one vs. trying to straighten & weld the bad one. The casting has stress cracks all over it. [/QUOTE]
