Got my outboard - a little Suzuki 5hp. So I can cross auxiliary propulsion off the list (still need a gas tank and fuel line though). It is a 1979 that was built in Japan - so it will match my 1975 boat.
Update: I ran the motor in a water barrel a few weeks ago and saw no water coming out :( Miller Boating Center has it now - I have ordered parts for them twice, but hopefully it will done this week. The water pump was destroyed from running dry. I might be getting wet this weekend, but I am not telling anyone this time until I am actually in the water. Too much that can still go wrong and probably will!
Wow finding fittings for this outboard is hard - may have to improvise.
