My 1987 Fisherman 20

what spare said about the 235, not one of omc's best moments. but if you are going to repair, see if you can get it turning over, check compression, then make sure you can pull the foot & flywheel before you get too much in it.

good luck & keep posting

Thanks. The battery was flat when I got it. I put it on a trickle charge and it came back to life strong. I used it to start a generator today, and I felt strong. I'll be putting the battery in soon and going through the wiring.

I'll need a wheel puller for that flywheel. I can't find mine. I've started reading a manual.

It would be nice to get that motor running well, so I could at least sell it, i f not use it. I picked up some ear muffs for it so I can try to start it, after reconnecting that wire.
