[Rhodes22-list] What do you suggest as replacement

[Mary Lou Troy]

Geoff,
I think Stan's suggestion to buy local is a good one if you live 
somewhere where you have choices. We've done that with both of our 
engines and have been able to find mechanics we trusted to make good 
any issues (although the place we bought the Yamaha closed last year 
so we are now on our own).

Combing the archives is a good idea but remember that the right 
choice for you will depend on how you are going to use the boat 
(where you will sail, currents, waves, possibility of storms, salt vs 
fresh, how much you think you will be motoring, etc.)

If you have local dealers, it would be a good idea to visit and see 
what they have to say. When we were looking for a new outboard we 
visited one place that tried to sell us every leftover on the lot and 
lied to us in the process. Needless to say we went elsewhere and 
found someone willing to discuss the merits of various motors for our 
use. Turned out they had great mechanics as well which was useful 
because we were able to convert our old Honda remote controls for use 
with the Yamaha.

Best,
Mary Lou
