G'day everyone... we recently purchased an old 1960's half cabin with a
1974 50 hp johnson outboard (our bit for recycling! heehee)
unfortunately the tilt system is f**ked we were told by the seller that
the moter (which is seized due to age and salt) can be replaced with a
yamaha or suzuki bike starter motor....

any one out there heard of this or has any other suggestions?

i'm not able to lift and lower the motor and my partner is not as
strong as he once was either... we have disconnected the motor for now
so that it is easier than if the hydraulics was still connected.

looking forward to hearing from you soon,

cheers

Julie

Could be this one too for the add-on T&T:
