The guy I bought the boat from, retired business owner, bought this boat for a project. He put a new motor on it, completely redid the transom then he become ill and could not finish it. When I got the boat, the remote control was not mounted some of the bolts were not tight on the transom nor the motor, he just was not able to complete what he started. It needed a new water pump so when I dropped the lower end, the linkage was not tight and way out of adjustment. Did the best that I could to reassemble, went to the river, sometimes it would not engage in reverse and sometimes it would not engage and forward. I noticed that their was tons of slop in the linkage rod going to lower end. One again did the best that I could, now everything is good until 22mph or better and the dogs are coming disengaged. I'm trying to figure out the best step by step to set/check everything.
