That’s sad, Dave…

If I remember correct here, you replaced the blower motors just to get more reliability.

I also had an “oil pressure issue” last year. 0-psi @ 3500 rpm.

NOT so good…

O-ring blew off the pressure disc.. NEW trans's...trans guy has been building for 20+years,"never seen that happen" pull motor... got that one fixed.. reinstalled.. went out ..Starboard trans let go.. same condition . pull that motor... now both out.. going on NINE times I've pulled the motors in three years.

Good deal. Hope it's nothing serious. The season's too short for us Northern boaters as it is.

not in Jonas case didnīt...
And that was one of the most reputable ones around great lakes...

And I truly feel for Jonas as he felt being shafted but on the positive side..because of that he started to do engines himself with a top priority in detail.
