Miloman,<br /><br />You exasperate and confuse me...<br />on the 16 Nov you posted the following:<br /><br />“thanks for all the help dropped my lower unit from what you all said it was my driveshaft seal(water in the lower unit on muffs) anyway with the help of a sledgehammer I got the lower unit off changed the seal fished the other day got home checked the plug all was a ok so thanks a million(or at least $4oo which is probubly what I saved”<br /><br />Then on Nov 19 you posted this:<br /><br />“I got my manual today and yup it was real simple I removed the startor and its getting rebuilt for $85 seemd ok to me also ordered the seal kit for my lower unit the manual makes it seem fairly straight forward so Im going to do that this weekend. I went looking for motors but turned cold when I saw some of the prices they want for a new motor so I think for the $400 or so Im going to repair this baby Im sure Im going to be back on many times because some of you really know your stuff. thanks<br />regards<br />Louis”<br /><br /> And then on Nov 27 this:<br /><br />“hey there yes my boat is rated for a 40 but it is a 92 my motor is a 73 50 which was rated at the powerhead prob is less then 40 on the prop the starter set me back $100 and the seal kits set me back $145 plus gear oil which I thought was pricy but oh well my labour set me back a full 12 pack sore knuckle I dont want to know how many smokes and one well rounded beef with the wife the paint was a factory color code which I matched at Canadian Tire alond with the clear coat about $40 I still have not had any one tell me what they really think it is worth ?? I mean I have $200 invested in the work I did and 190 in the rebuilt carbs ( I thought that was cheap) so the motor is in excellent shape in fact im going fishin this weekend I had it out in lake Ontario and now is 42 mph on the gps as opposed to 37 prior to “<br /><br />There are a lot of good folks on this board giving up their time to help people with genuine problems and I for one really appreciate it. With the number of conflicting stories you are posting, you are gonna start P*ssing these good folk off. Please bud, get your facts straight, decide whether your motor is actually fixed or broken and think before asking your questions.<br /><br />Thanks and apologies to everyone else for venting off.

No apologies necessary. Miloman has had a wealth of confusing and contradictory comments and I am sure that many have tuned him out politely.<br /><br />John

Puts me in mind of Noah, who, as God was finishing up his instructions and leaving, yelled "Wait! Wait!! How long is a cubit?"
