Continuing Saga of Far Cove's Engine
Sell ... sounds kinda final ... since you're "out to make a few bucks in
Vancouver", might I suggest that tried and true money maker ... renting?

Hi,
I know nobody wants to talk boats here, but here goes...
Took Far Cove out today to see if adjusting the stop lever solved the
low-rpm
problem. Got just outside the marina, opened it up a bit, and noticed I
was
going slower. Long story short: Forward gear is hosed. I ended up backing
all
the way back to my slip (fortunately there was absulutely no wind or tide,
so I
could crawl).
So, I guess Far Cove has decided for me: it's a New Engine (with Trans)
as
soon as I can get it. The dealer (Atomic Four Engine Service) said he will
take
the old engine in trade - donno if he wants to see it running. If not,
I'll
probably pull the old engine over the holidays so I can get started on
rebuilding the stringers.
So...anybody need a handyman looking for a Few Bux in Vancouver? (I'd
sell my
body, but that would only get me about $1.95...)
