So I had a chance to remove the prop this weekend. No fishing line but this doesnt look good... looks like bad corrosion. I'm wondering if this motor is pooched.
I got a guy but not sure I trust him anymore. He's done repairs for me this past year but the motor is obviously not in good shape. Not sure I want to keep putting money into it.
I'm near Schomberg - if anyone knows of a good mechanic, please PM me
