RangerGuy Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 I'm looking to make an adjustment to my outboard hieght that doesn't require the long drive to my dealer. Wondering if anybody has dealt with this shop before. Please PM me your experiences either way Thanks!
GBW Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 Are you talking about CENTRAL OUTBOARD MARINE? If it's a warranty thing just go. Never been there but they have been around a LONG time.
mike rousseau Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 It's an easy job to do yourself... Especially if you know someone with an automotive engine lift... Or you can use a "come along" and hang it from a tree... Or if you can get 1 or 2 other buddies to help you can do It by hand... I mounted my 50hp... Just me and a buddy....
RangerGuy Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 I can do it but.. it's 400lb motor and I"m nervous of dropping it LOL!
GBW Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 do you have a good 1/4 or 1/2 ton jack? That with a block of wood on it will do the trick too.
mike rousseau Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 I can do it but.. it's 400lb motor and I"m nervous of dropping it LOL! Your 75 is 150 pounds heavier then my 50...wow would have never guessed that much
mike rousseau Posted August 17, 2012 Report Posted August 17, 2012 And as long as you only loosen the 2 bolts in the slotted section.... You cant drop it
John Bacon Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 I bought my Princecraft there; they seemed fine to me.
fishermccann Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Yes they are OK I have dealt with them many a time, even bought my first canoe there( 1976) and last year a new 9.9.
RangerGuy Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Posted August 21, 2012 Talked to them the other day..they were very helpful. Thank you everybody for the input
