I need some help....
I have a 35+ year old 6hp Johnson Seahorse 50th Anniversary motor. Had a hard time starting it, pulled over and over, and eventually the rope broke. The rough starting is a new and a whole other issue.
Is replacing a rope easy to do or should I pay some one?
I can do basic car repairs, never tried boat motors.
Also, what kind of rope to get? If I end up taking it somewhere how much should I expect to pay to have a pull-rope replaced.
Sorry for all the questions. Never owned a boat motor. First time problem... be gentle with me.
Thanks
Mike
