The man said it does run but needs a water pump. He is a very nice guy who may be joining us here. My main interest is for a spare outboard.

This one is fiberglass. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

That little motor brought back memories. I got my grandfather's 7.5 when I was 10-years-old. It sat around in the garage for a couple of years until I talked my dad into helping me build a 8' Minimax. Mine was an older model. It had a throttle that slid across the front cowell and no neutral. Oh yeah, I flipped the boat the first time out Easter Sunday in Dayton Ohio..... COLD!
