The transaction is complete. Thanks Robert. VRO pump will be changed in the AM. She made it over the Skyway easily. Newer Awl Grip finish. New non-skid on deck/cap/floor. NEW TRANSOM. Custom bench seat. Lots of upgrades! I'm thinking..........I have a boat resembling a Bahamas boat! I'm looking forward to the shake down cruise. Possible maiden voyage tomorrow.

Here are a couple initial pictures:

Nicely done. VRO rehab is quick and easy if the motah has not overheated in the past...

A kit is 62 clams and very easy on the scale o `motor. Finger tip with the screw Driver.

Look at the threads. Think.

Cheers,

Thanks Sandy! It's set up for premix so, I am only interested in the fuel pump side. I am doing a trade out in the AM from a 175 motah. I like your price for the rebuild..........I am just glad to be waay less than $350 to $450. You shopping for a Sceptre?

With my challenged ankles and heels no. The fix is so simple, it will blow you away.

Less than 1 hour as we had friends from Vt, who were nervous. Sea tow brought us in and I had us up and runnin` that night. Early too.

Good motah that I know a thing or two about.

With no sight.

And no feet.

I have still no eye dear,

Great looking ride!! Thats a great family fishing machine with great space to start gag season.

When you look at the threads of the VRO, you must think of fingertip torque. Be gentle.

Keep your fingers on top of the pump. The spring will release easily with patience.

Go slowly. A new diaphram will bring your motah happinesss. Change the pulse piston o ring as well. In the kit.

Cheers,
Us
