If I understand you correctly, I would leave the body, prop, etc. of the motor in place and just lift the engine straight up and out. Now that sounds like it would work. The difficulty is in...

If you say so. Maybe I misunderstood.

I'm guilty of a lot of things, but I haven't run aground yet. From what I hear, that just means I'm not much of a sailor.

I am not positive, but I think that we changed the impeller last spring.

Even if so, of course, the impeller could be the issue.

I have not run the motor (aside from idling for short times) since seeing the slow flow. I think that it was close to overheating the day that I saw the slow flow, but the engine was running...

Could be. I tried to clean the intake, but I could not reach it easily from the dinghy and so perhaps I didn't do a good job.



In fact, I did that this year. I bought a can of spray paint...

Well, I know that last year, the guys who maintained my motor said that barnacles were deep inside the motor. I also scraped the water intake and opened the screen to scrape inside as well as I...

Thanks, I've seen the stream of coolant. It's down to a trickle, so I reckon I better cut the season short.

Well, I haven't been clever enough so far. The problem is more the tight fit than the weight of the thing. In order to remove the motor, we have to unscrew the board it rests on and take it out as...

Lifting the motor

I'd love to do that, but I can't see how to. The motor is in a well and it's a snug fit. There's no chance to tilt the motor nor is it easy to get the motor out of the well while it's in the water....

Friggin' Barnacles !

Hey ho.
