Hi Gents
Is it just me, or is the search function for repair forums useless. I tried "VRO" and it comes up empty.
What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks :(

A while back I had trouble with the basic search and started using the advanced search with 100% success.

You would be suprised how many times a google search will bring you to Iboats.

I agree. Using google with iboats mentioned in the search works way better that the "piece of junk" search engine here.

The search function chokes on 3 letter searches. (it's the board software that owns that glitch) If you add the brand of the motor in with the search such as Johnson VRO you will get about 389 results

The advanced search works real good if you specify the fourm it was in...usually get way too many hits and get side tracked reading other than you wanted.....or that could be just me killing time
