what's the problem with it red?
Motor looks super clean, was used on a tender on the thames, pretty sure its not seen any salt water.watched a few vids on youtube, most recomend changing impeller every couple of years, looks fairly straight forward and the parts are cheap ......will strip it one evening this week......thanks for the replies foccers......is there anything we cant fix ?
Anything with marine attached to the front will cost 5 times the normal price than if you went somewhere else. There are loads on ebay at a reasonable price.depends where the gouge is, can you describe which surface i.e. the surface that the blades contact or the side surfaces. Usually a flatten with sand paper will do it.
