Hi all, just wanted to get some feedback, ready several post on the fitch motors. I am looking to purchase a 2000 175 fitch motor with 200 hours on it with controls etc for $1500.00 , compression is supposed to be good and the engine run great. It is not on a current boat but at a marina. Do these have any other know problems with the lower end etc? Also is there any preventative maintence to ensure some good life time on the engine. I would hate to buy it and then it have no forward or reverse gear etc, if that was the issue are the other evinrude lower ends compatible to swap out? Thanks
