Re: hrs on motor ?? too much

Let's see.88' model would make it 16 years old.150 divided by 16 is a little over 9 hr. per year average.I'd define that as very low hours.Probably either set idle for a few years or was run very little each year.Does the rig have an hour meter or was that just the sellers estimate?In any case, sounds like the engine runs well ,and if you're happy that's what counts.<br /><br />This topic will likely be moved to the general outboard discussion forum.
