I bought this motor from a fella who had insurance on his boat. He was rear ended by another boat and it tore up the motion base a bit. I’ve welded a bunch of cast aluminum- and the aluminum used on these motion bases welds almost exactly like billet aluminum! None of the nasty black porosity that I’m accustomed to. I’ve taken it out for a test run... all seems good. End up making a jig to hold it all together, ground out two of the bolt threads and filling them with weld so I could drill and tap them again as the break went through each bolt. The only thing I’m not too sure about is the temperature of the motion base / clutch cover. Seems like it gets pretty warm- like 125* or so. Is that normal? |

Badass save! Lol. They get a little warm from belt friction and reverse but not bad. Just service the reverse often. Watch the belt wear pattern |

I can tell you, that was not a fun day in the water. I was in the boat that hit him, as a passenger. A little too much throttle and not paying attention, could have ended up much worse. Glad to see the motor get back to work. |
