| Clymer has a decent manual for repair procedures for about $30.
A quick search on the net (1990 mercury 135hp) got me several rebuilt powerheads for $3300 and 2 complete running engines on craigslist for $ 3000 in west palm beach. One left hand and 1 right hand.
The way the economy is going boats and motors are being sold for quick cash. I just read in the paper where a guy abandoned a $200,000 boat because he could not pay the slip fees. Check around there may be some great motors for sale in your area for what you might pay for the repairs. Keep the old one for parts or rebuild it to sell later or as a backup.
Just something to consider. |
