[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 258424, member: 6657"] You should consider tracking down and installing a new water pump/impeller on that motor, there's lots of good videos on youtube that show you how to change one out. Sounds like that carb could use a good cleaning too, these are 2 of the 3 main things you want to do when putting a used motor into service. The third thing is to change the "dope" in the foot, look for metal shavings in the old fluid. That 12 footer isn't much more than a surf board so don't feel too bad about the "clumsiness", everyone feels like that in a 12 footer. It would be a good idea to wear your PFD all the time in that boat, 12 footers are notorious for being tippy. This might help you decide on what mix ratio to use in your fuel: https://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=266268 [/QUOTE]
