Yes sir I see what you mean!!
But you are going to break a bunch of stuff getting that thing apart!!
O well I hope it last for a good long time! I cleaned up the Yamaha and it was 3X that bad and it lasted till the motor blew. But that was a easy take apart!
Anyway after playing around with that trim motor i cleaned wire brushed it and painted with Galvanized paint, 5 coats, then topped off with Yamaha paint, I know its a Evinrude, but you can't see it any way!
Then this after noon we got the motor on the boat and I got all the steering reinstalled.
I pulled a bunch of old wires out, still more to go but I have to trace them to make sure I don't take out what I need!!
So whats left, all the wiring and attach the cables, and I should be able to start her!
I am taking the day off tomorrow I have lots to do and then a Doc appointment.
Note the truck in the street!! :P
The Tree!! it has moved 6 motors now, The Land Lord has never know ;)
