      I guess there’s not much risk in buying one to try out. Anybody have suggestions for specific models? I see some can have mirrors and that seems valuable, because one will not be able to make a 180 to look at the valves on a 4-stroke….

            I replaced the rings in the motor
            because they were stuck so bad it
            wouldn’t run. Couldn’t get them
            free without breaking them.
            Never messed with the rod bolts
            though. I had the motor 4 or 5 years.
            Every time I took the motor to run
            I would end up having a problem
            and it would spoil my day. This was
            the last straw. I don’t know if the
            bolt broke or came out. I never
            bothered to look. Its now hanging
            on a wall in a Illinois Mississippi river
            town restaurant. You got a know when
            to hold em and know when to unload
            em!!!! ➡ Better it happened to
            me than if I had sold it.

              Tubs,

              You have a great way with words. You made my day.

                    I bought mine Monday and already have used it to "see" a couple non-outboard related things around the house. I think it will get a lot of use as time goes on!
