Hello from Australia,
My first post here, I am an Irish man living in Australia. I managed to buy a half cabin from a good friend. Its my first boat and I am really excited about. It needs some work but there the sort of projects I love!!!
Ok my boat experience is rubbish (getting my license this week), I dont know too much about the engines or servicing them. The boat was sitting for over a year and the engine cover got nicked and was open to the elements. I am the process of organising to get the floor redone as it is a tab soft. The engine is a evinrude 75hp not to sure the year. We tested the engine with starter fluid and she fired up!!! very happy indeed.
The trim/ tilt motor is knackered, this is where I need some help. I have taken a pic of the trim tilt motor which is not working. I dont know where to begin in getting a replacemnet. The guy who I bought it from told me it was beyond repair. The serial on the engine is 75749SC. Any ideas what model trim it is
From what I understand your better off getting a new replacement motor for the trim tilt (not cheap), If I manage to source one do I need special tool to replace. I am at the stage now where I am doing my research about the engines and how to service them. Does any one have any good pdf documents giving the motor a good service etc.
The boat is going to get a full make over, I try and upload as many pics as I can.
Many thanks.
