2 things actually. First was the shift cutoff switch. These things run on 4 cylinders at idle, and kick in all 6 when you put it in gear - assuming your shift switch is good. Replaced that (which was a royal PITA), and all was well - ish. Planed once, and then wouldn't again. The oil reservoir on the engine was at the minimum - storage tank isn't filling it up. So, I just kept filling it manually today. Gotta order a new oil pump, filter, and line for next weekend. Lots of homework, lots of fiddle-farting around. I'm learnin these outboard things one way or another though! (which better be quick, as I've already located my next boat, and it has a pair of Honda 225's strapped to the back ;) )
 
@veedubtek those Honda 225 are solid my buddy bought a used one at 600hrs and he has 2600+ now in a year a half. He goes almost everyday as a commercial spearfisher with only routine maintenance. Thing is solid. He ran it single engine this year to the Bahamas multiple times.
 
Jealous of those still boating . We put our boat up way to early . I get to see it everyday in one of my shops at the office. Its covered in red dirt dust! The shame.
 
Several of us frequent Belews @GMAN2015 ! Welcome aboard!
