You could part it out on E-bay or look on E-bay for a used powerhead. Only you can decide if it's worth the money to repair it.. But remember, it is 32 years old and you will not recoup your investment...

try ebay :D <br /><br />Unfortunatly it might be hard for you to get a replacement powerhead, unless you can get one frieghted over from australia, probably an outboard wrecker would have one. <br />Other option is to see if your "stuffed" power head is still possible to be fixed. Give us some more info on it, Have you open it up to look at it internally, or is just seized? Don't give it up for dead unless you are certain.

yea, it can be repaired. but it will cost me three times what its worth to do so. then its still a 32 year old motor!
