Reward for lost lower unit
Posted: October 7th, 2018, 11:33 am
If anyone is deep sea fishing at the power plant on the St Marks with strong enough line to pull it up and gets my lower unit(yamaha 90hp) i'll pay $5
Seriously though anyone ever heard of someone losing a lower unit.. Bolts and all with no obvious damage? Didn't hit anything(that I felt)and when you came off plane to a loud exhaust, trim up the motor, look back and the other half of your motor is missing?
I had to laugh and so did the towboat capt who had to tow me like 1/10 of a mile up river.
The cost isn't the factor as I can find them for under $500 used but the down time is gonna suck until I find one.
