Replaced both of mine last year with Arco's, wired them directly to the positive battery lead, they've never missed a beat.

Have seen people put bags of concrete in houseboats to level them out. At 2000 lbs. you've got about a $1000 stash.

I would immediately be suspect something is wrong. When I purchased mine it ran so well I elected not to do a compression check, bad mistake. In the two years of ownership both engines have been replaced and it was not cheap. If the boat is in good shape make him an offer less the cost of two engines.

Still looks good, holding up well, Gloss White for the hull, Navy Blue for the stripe. Used 3/4" reflective white tape for the pinstripe. Have yet to finish the rest, between work and the weather just can't seem to "Get er Done".
