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…

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.
