Well, crap. Tried to get the motor going with a "new" cdi and it turns out the one on it is less than a year old and basically brand new. So, I don't think that is the problem.
Then, I decided to pull of the swim ladder and sell it since it was useless to me. Pulled it off and removed the mounting brackets and that was when curiosity got the better of me...I figured since I was going to have to patch the holes anyways, I may as well take a look at the transom by using a hole saw to cut out a small section of the fiberglass.
Bad idea but guess I am glad I did before I hung a new(er) motor on the back. The wood is like wet sawdust
SO, time to pull off the old Yamaha and get busy replacing the transom. Unless I can seriously bust some ass over the next few weeks, I guess my summer is shot
