She finally blew...today on St. Adrews Bay...sounds like she lost a rod bold. A bit of a wait and thanks to Boat US membership, she's back in the driveway. I prefer to rebuild the original engine over buying a new one. Anyone know of a great mechanic in the Atlanta area that works out of home or small shop? It's a 1986 Yamaha 175, obviously 2 stroke. Thanks in advance.
