    Prop hitting anode

    Many cheap props are investment cast...this uses a wax model to create a casting mold for molten metal. If quality control is top notch, extremely accurate castings can be produced, how ever....if someone looks the other way for just a few seconds...you can have junk!!

    Pedestal Seat Base

    The ball will get some air in it as the fuel passes thru, just the nature of the beast, just like water and drain lines. When the motor starts to bog and squeezing the ball brings it back life, sure sign of fuel delivery issues

    johnson 70hp 2 stroke 1995 shut down when warm

    Also clean the pickup in the tank. The outside of your fuel line can look perfect, it is the inside that fails and cones apart. Also the valve in your squeeze ball can become clogged with small bits of fuel line when they come apart as can the plug going into your motor. Your issue sounds fuel...

    Evenrude 9.9hp 1982

    You still need to attach those cables to the motor, there are parts needed to do that unless your motor already was set up for remote operation. Most of these small motors dont come from the factory setup for remote controls, so kits are needed to make the cables connect to the motor.

    1987 mercruiser 3.0

    The hose from the tank vent needs to make an upward loop to keep any water that might enter the vent from enteringbthe fuel tank. Did you check for water in your fuel? Fuel filter/ water separater clean? If the float is sticking then time for a thorough rebuild....

    Additional bilge compartment?

    If your not real handy with fiberglass work seek professional help!! Inside the glass there is a wood substructure, water gets into the wood and causes it to rot. Look especially close at the transom, weakness there could be catastrophic....
