Got back from fishing the other day and my motor wouldn't crank and couldn't flush it. It is about an 82 or 83 Mercury 9.8hp w/ the long shaft. If I take it in to get serviced, it will certainly be $300 to get it fixed. That is all that motor may be worth. So I am looking to buy a 15hp tiller motor short shaft w/ pull start that is in good running condition, preferably a later model.. I have $ and can trade a nice Shimano Crucial Rod and Curado 200E7 reel also. Send me a PM and let me know what you have. Thanks
