That’s sad, Dave… http://www.northoffshore.com/down.gif

If I remember correct here, you replaced the blower motors just to get more reliability. http://www.northoffshore.com/unsure.gif

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

NOT so good… :rolleyes:

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. :food-smiley-007::ernaehrung004::angry-smiley-038:

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

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.
