I'm looking at buying a used bass boat and it seems the main things to ask related to the motor is if the lower unit has ever been replaced and/or if the powerhead has been replaced.
What is the powerhead? Is this the valves, cylinders, etc? So basically it's like rebuilding the top end of a car/truck motor?
Would there be other reasons why a powerhead was replaced other then lack of oil or lack of compression?
If a powerhead has been replaced on a boat that is still under warranty does this mean I should be concerned about the motor being problematic? What I mean is I think if the powerhead had to be replaced because the motor is 15 years old that would make me think it was just do to old age and maintenance not being held up over the years.
Any info you can provide would be great. I just don't know if I should stay away from these issues or if I should be ok with it, specially if they can prove it was replaced by manufacture under warranty?
Thanks
