Hi all, Looking for some input on maintenance
I recently bought a 17' CC that had a 1990 Evenrude 88SPL. It turns out it was on a CMC Braket masking a TNT and Tilt Tube issue, it also has a very very stiff Swivel Bracket. I may still look at working those issues and maybe keeping this as a spare possibly as it is good running(will be another post!!) or Parting it out.
I then picked up a nice running and looking 1985 Johnny 115. The owner was a mechanic and took good care of this motor. I'm going to use this engine.
My question (I guess applies to either of these motors) is generally, what should I look into on these motors on the notion of Preventative maintenance? I dont initially want to do any big rebuilds as they both seem to run well. But what would be good items to replace or address on these engines since they are "older". What should I replace right off the bat, and preventively?
I'm technical and have ability, was just looking for items to address before either going into service for me.
Thanks
