would you be buying a new outboard? If you swap that inboard out for a moyer exchange engine and you do the work yourself you could have a brand new updated fuel injected engine for about $5000. The moyer exchange engine comes with all the cool little update they offer on the site too. The extended knurled bolts on the water pump, the extended mixture screw on the carburetor, the oil change kit, electric fuel pump...etc. And it is a direct swap. while you have the old one out you could run new fuel lines ans repack the stuffing box.
A new 10hp outboard will run you about $3000 all said and done I'd bet. I did the moyer exchange a 3 years ago. That thing runs amazing right now. I had a 10hp outboard on my O'day 22 and it was a bit of a pain to handle around the docks. It becomes another thing that needs your attention while trying to maneuver while under power in my opinion. I bet you would be a lot happier in the long run if you had a good running A4. I can't tell you how pleased I am with my engine right now!

Any listers have experience with a project like this, advice, or suggestions? The boat is sound, of course, as is the rig and sails, but the A4 engine is requiring infusions of $$ every year, and is not reliable. Every year we�ve been scuppered, and I want reliability without the cost of a new inboard� hence the idea to try the outboard route.
