Dances with Fish

Appreciate the advise, the motor is still at the Marina and can't figure it out. The last attempt is to replace a capacitor which may be done tomorrow. Does anyone know of a repair shop that has a scan tool? I contacted Hank at L&M and he can't help on this one.

Thanks to all for responding. Any chance you would have Hank's phone #?

Thanks, compression is good, no problem there

Bought a 1999 Lund this year and went against all the advise posted here not to purchase without confirming the motor working. ; Learned that lesson.. This boat has a 1999 Evinrude 225HP Ficht, Was repaired at a Marina and took it out on Saturday. Ran good out but when we came in the engine had no power after 1/4 throttle. Sort of skips after 1/4 throttle. The mechanic is young and most likely not an expert on this engine. A few questions: 1. is there an experienced mechanic out there that is familiar with this engine that can work on it preferably in the Syracuse area? 2. Knowing this is an older engine I have a few choices - is it worth fixing and having confidence it will operate without issue or should I consider looking at getting a different engine. I know these engines have a history. Perhaps a mechanic that is familiar with these may be the best option.

''ll buy them, let me know how we can make this happen

could you send pics to 315-575-6304. Thanks

Thanks guys

Looking for a qualified surveyor for a boat I'm looking at, The boat is in the Utica area, I'm in Syracuse area, so someone close to this location would be best. Any help would be appreciated.

would like to learn more, could you text me your phone # to 315-575-6304

I tried calling the phone # listed and get a recording from a lady from a clinic. Is the number posted correct/

you'll find Jack at the SS Marina a stand up guy, he has non ethanol gas. He can also help you with locating a cabin if you give him a call. Just leave a few fish for the rest of us.

Looking for one of these, any thoughts on where to get one

Very interested, let me know the best way to take a look

Dave, you crack me up
