With a flourish of pre-season enthusiasm Pål has shipped off the outboard to the workshop at the marina to see if they can fix last seasons problems with cooling water. Their prognosis matches mine.. most probably the impeller... and if they can get it apart they will fix it. But if after 25 years it's not going to give in to a little TLC we'll be faced with buying a new one.
So today we have been at the boatshow checking out the alternatives (I didn't know Johnson had disappeared!). The going rate for a 5hp 4-stroke seems to be about 12 000 kronor... somewhat more for a 6hp like we have today... so I have my fingers crossed that the old faithful will see reason and submit to treatment.
