I'm guessing its a 1994 or newer. Its not the electronics part that sucks.
Its the steering mechanism.

I may take a look at converting it to a hand operated as a project for fun
some time to use on my square back canoe for running the lower river, but it
will never go back on one of my bass boats. I suppose if I could rig it
right I might be able to use the motor on something down the road.

Bob, how old is your MG? I'm told that since they've been digitizing the
components things have taken a major change for the better, a year or so
ago.

I found a good use for my MotorGunk.

I used the power cord off of it to lengthen the power cord on ym
Evinrude
trolling motor.

Maybe I can scrounge some other good parts.

As I mentioned in another post I took the Waco out today for its
maiden
voayge.

Amoung the various things I tested was the trolling motor. I pulled
the
Motor Gunk off the Baker a while back and put on a new Minn Kota
Maxxum.
I
love the Maxxum. Anyway, I had the Motor Gunk repaired figuring to
either
sell it, or use it on another boat. It had all new parts installed.
I
dropped it in the water and after moving back and forth a couple times
I
noticed the pointer was not pointing in the right direction, and
except
at
the absolute slowest speeds the darn thing was flopping back and forth
worse
than the tail of a dog with a mouth full of bacon.

As I pulled it out of the water I could hear parts rattling in the
motor
head. ****! Motor Gunk has found its way to my, "I ain't gonna risk
a
dime
on 'em list." If Motor Gunk wants to send me a free new motor I might
try
it and give them a second chance, but otherwise forget it.

Fortunately, since nobody had expressed any interest in buying the
Skeeter
I
had already decided to start pulling stuff off of it for the Whacko.
It
took me about ten minutes to pull that old reliable Evinrude trolling
motor
off. Sometime tommorrow I am sure I'll have it mounted on the Whacko,
and
ready for a test run. While I was at it I pulled both fish finders
off
he
Skeeter as well in order to use them on the Whacko. I already mounted
my
Garmin 176 GPS map, so I will definitely be ready for that ABA
aluminum
series coming up.
