So, I have been having trouble with my motor for some time and can never seem to get it fixed. As the days go by, parts are becoming harder to find, and I finally took the boat into the shop. Well, they told me that the man hours that it would take to fix it out weigh the worth of the motor. The motor mounts are bad and that is most likely the cause for my other problems but not a 100 percent certain.
So, heres my question do I need to stay with a 40 horse this motor pushed us about 20 but never ran tip top, the mechanic told me he had a 25 horse Johnson that would push the boat around the same. Is that true?
The boat that I'm running is a 1648 that loaded with wood probably about 2/1/2 to 3 sheets of ply.
Thanks.
