Getting the old boat ready

[MPHunter]

Started on the second pull. Unfortunately I had to pull. It has electric start and the starter is not engaging flywheel. It just spins without popping up to engage. Not a big deal as it pulls real easy but the electric start is pretty nice...

It's getting plenty of juice... brand new fully charged battery and wire terminals are clean. I did a little YouTube search and the problem might be the top gear on the starter being gummed up. Watched a video and gonna take it apart, clean and lubricate and see if that works. If it doesn't, pull start works. Not gonna spend money on a new starter.

I was going about cleaning our Pontoon Boat but unfortunately I'm cleaning it up to prep it for sale . We've decided ( Da Wife and I ) that we're not going to use it anymore so we can catch up on bills and hopefully I can retire this year .  May have to invest in a couple Tire Tubes for my Wife and I ... not the ones on the Trailer !  LOL

Well she's sold .... $ 7500 Cash and gone !
