Hi all,
Went down to my favourite shore fishing spot only to find it was unexpectedly frozen up. Fortunately there was some open water a bit further up the shore with access, turned out to be a fun hour, lots of bites and I didn’t fall off the cliff. Not long now before the ice is safe enough to walk on.
I'll go out on a limb with the information provided that if the parts are available it can absolutely be rebuilt.
Lower units are built to be entirely replaced and or rebuilt independent of the top end.
