Thanks for the replys guys, i think im just gonna hand this one over to the professionals to look at and go over the whole motor. I missed out on two months of fishing this year and would like to hit the water with a motor with a clean bill of health at ice out next spring.

My work blessed me with a monday-thursday 4-10s day shift job my previous schedule was thurs-sun and i missed out on pretty much all the fun and tournaments..next year id love to be able to fish a bunch of tournaments... and hopefully show these guys with brand new 75k boats what a 3000 dollar 25 year old boat and 34 year old motor will do.


Smoke it may be the fuel pump, but the filter and hoses are all brand new and dont appear to have any leaks what so ever.

all i did to the motor was change the lower unit oil and put a new impeller in it... i think it would be wise to just have the whole thing gone over
