Thanks for the compliments boys...
Ferm, funny thing... The guy told me that he had bought an Etec 200 and had it installed on this boat. He put the old motor away in his garage for like two or three years. He then decided he wanted a cuddy cabin... So he found one and had his Etec installed on it and had his mechanic reinstall the old motor back on the boat. Apparently, he stored the engine in some way that once the engine was installed and the trim motor was activated some oil came spurted out of through the seal. What caused that? I don't know. But it hasn't happened since that time. Also he raised the engine when I was there and over a couple hours time, it didn't leak nor did the engine drop from its position. SO, I'm sort of thinking about just swapping motors and letting it be.
V20 will likely go on sale on Craigslist sometime next week. If no bites, then I will put her on Ebay and see what happens.
