Boat problems again

**sinkermaker** · 02-02-2016, 06:20 PM

Went down to the boat Saturday afternoon, I wanted to run the boat and ride up the lake and look around. Cranked up fine and shut off. Could not get the starter to turn over. Gave up and waited until today to get it out of the water. After I got it out I pulled the cover and saw the problem. The bendix was wore out and stuck in the flywheel. Pulled the starter and took it to a electrical shop. He rebuilt it and called me a couple hours later and had it rebuilt. He is a crappie fishermen to. Got it reinstalled and ready to try it out soon as the rain quits tomorrow. Anybody want to buy a good running 90 hp Mercury. Don

Dang it man.....Now I know why you keep 2 boats. You always have a backup. I hope this will be the last of your problems with the boat and you can spend some time chasing the crappie.

Yeah when I get the bugs worked out I am going to sell that motor and put a new Mercury 4 stroke on it. Knock on wood, thank God I don't have problems with the other boat.

I know your pain, I owned a Merc one time.

Sorry to hear about your motor problems. I'm glad you got it fixed quick. But you know it's always something isn't it, You get one problem solved and BAM their's another one! I hope you have no more problems.

That is why they say a boat is a big hole in the water that you keep pouring money into.
