Cecil, I lucked out. When the 9.8 two stroke lower unit gave out I stopped at the local Marina. They just had a guy buy (he ordered it) that 5 hp, and put it on his boat the day before. He screwed up. He needed a long shaft, but this one is a short shaft. The Marina asked him to measure the boat for shaft length (top of transom to waterline) and he didn't. He put it on the pontoon, ran it and it cavitated.....

I got it for slightly more than 20% off retail, and since he never sent in the warranty card, I'm considered the first owner and have the full warranty on it too.

I looked at Craigslist and at E-bay. But, since I needed it asap, and it was local (2 miles away) I just bought it. I did pick up a lower unit for the 9.8 so that will be fixed for next season too.

This 5 hp has its own internal gas tank, but an aux tank can also be hooked up easily. The one thing you have to watch on the 4-stroke motors is that when transported they have to be laid down on one side only. Lay it down the wrong way and the oil in the crankcase can leak out......
