Outrageous outboard

Post by Nick »

.
Our 2hp Yam has bitten the dust - not pumping water but can't drop the gearbox to sort it.

Stayed in tonight to watch and hopefully purchase an identical motor from Ebay. Item was described as being from the 90s but stored and only test run once a year. It went for £231 + £20 p&p

That's over half the price of a new 4-stroke.

Are they mad??

And - has anyone got a redundant 2hp 2-stroke?

What's stopping the leg from parting? Seized bolts?

I think the gearbox splines are seized into the engine.

If Tojo of The Boat Store in Oban can't get it apart after several hours it is almost certainly a lost cause.
