Hello all,
I am new to this board and also to online communications as well. Please be gentle as I learn the ropes here. By way of my first post I will try and be brief, but specific as able.
I recently was made an offer that I could not refuse and purchased my very first boat, trailer, motors (yes plural) and all associated equipment for the huge sum of $400 dollars US. My trouble is that I am a senior citizen and have no working knowledge of any of the great stuff that I just bought. In order to enjoy this windfall profit I need to get more info before I proceed. That's where you come in.
Since this is the motor forum I will start here. The package came with a small Min Kota and a big Min Kota as well as a Johnson Seahorse 6hp outboard. The Min Kotas I checked already and they both work fine. I do not dare check the Seahorse yet because I have no owners manual, no prior experience and no close acquaintances to go to for help. I sure hope this is the right place to come for info.
The motor is a Johnson, model #6R-74C, the serial #J3937713. It has been little used and looks spanking new. I would like to buy a manual, but my online searches just seem to befuddle me more. Can anyone here throw me in the right direction for some help? I would be most appreciative for any bone you can toss me.
I am looking forward to further communications with you kind folk. If you need further info please let me know. Thanks again.
