[QUOTE="The10Man, post: 391707, member: 18718"] So I checked the compression with a different gauge and the motor still had low compression. After I got this reading I decided to take it in to the local boat mechanic and he confirmed that the motor had low compression and said there was knocking in the motor. He said its probably not worth spending the money to have them fix it. He stated that it needed a new impeller but that it wasn't guaranteed to fix the problem. He said after replacing the impeller the motor that it was hard to say for certain how much longer it would last and that could crap out tomorrow or it could last another year, So, needless to say, I'm pretty disappointed. Im not sure what to do at this point. [/QUOTE]
