Re: Old outboard motors
When you said "old", I didn't really expect that old....LOL
I've got a 9.9 HP Mercury on a stand, in the garage, that hasn't seen water (or the light of day for that matter) in well over 25 years. My brother bought it new in '79 or '80? We used to run it on a little aluminum row boat. The 9.9 made it legal for some of the lakes around here that had limits.
That boat was stolen from the back lot of my brother's old shop in the early 90s , but the motor is still around.
I've thought about selling it, but figured it would just be a headache so someone, so never bothered. Being a Merc, parts are probably easier to source?

Learn from the mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself...
Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
