    Not enough power?

    Yes, I have seen that photo and that's what i said " an OX motor".

I rather have 2...

After about 30 seconds later I did accelerate and no more whistle. Any way. I'm looking for a...

    Poor Grady-White support for older boats.

    Well, I contacted GW a couple of times and I could get the answers I looked for. The Lady that answered my questions was great, to say the list and my boat is a 1998. I was amazed w/ the C. S quality. (just my 2 cents).

    Not enough power?

    Weather and work did not help, but as soon as possible I will. - By the way I decided to get ( 2 ) two stroke motors (weight is an issue) and expect to do the change myself (Of course i will be here many times when doing it). Thanks

    Not enough power?

    Not enough power?
