[QUOTE="ncfishin, post: 141407, member: 1725"] Sounds like a great deal to me. I see 40 hps on craigslist without controls for more than that. Only time will tell. Did you see it run? If I were you, instead of taking someones word for it, I would go through the main checklist before I put it on the water. It doesn't hurt to check the compression on it first. You need to make sure the water cools the head. You need to look at the lower unit yourself. It's not that hard on my mariner. It's only four bolts and a linkage cable. I'm sure the guy changed the lube before he sold it. But, you can look for excessive water, metal shavings, mishapen seals, and you can check your impeller while you are at it. I was able to do these things myself, with a little help from google. Just a thought, before you mount it and go balls to the wall. Good find. [/QUOTE]
