Thanks Joe. Yeah I'm going to be very concerned about the motor on any new to us boat. I've been spoiled **knock on wood**. My 40 year old fwc Atomic 4 on my 30-1 has not once given us an issue, while I've seen some slip neighbors with 5 year old yanmars get stranded **knock on wood again**. It seems to me keeping a sailboat engine running smoothly is a combination of maintenance and luck.
