    Marine Machine in Gonzales adds a longer stud there to get beyond the crack. Once cracked he recommends welding inside and outside.

    Bottoming out the stud makes sense as a culprit. I've pulled plenty powerheads on weird angles and never broke a fishing motor there over the years

    10 year warranty was a figure of speech used as a example of just how stupid some people are when you rebuild there blown motor usually due to auto oiler failure (who's fault is that) and you give it back to them with ALL THERE ORIGINAL PARTS INSTALLED ON THE REBUILD there parts become under your warranty ???NOT ive had several battles like that people calling me up cussing me out calling everything under the sun so yeah its time
