I recently aquired this motor mounted on a 1960 era 17 " fiberglass travler hull.Ive been hopeing on some feedback on anyones experience with this motor and wether its more problematic than other years or not.Also,It has spent its life being used on a fresh water lake and now will be used in sea water and would also like to know other than a freshwater flush etc. after every use what else can I do to maintain its life? Thanks:cool:
