jeffreyd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 have you determined why it locked up? was it out of oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gofishingtom Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 yes ran out of oil no warning..my fault was letting it run down so i could change oil brands and dint know it was that low as of last time i checked it also has a reserve on motor and it was out also..so it was a costly mistake on my part..after talking to several shops looks like my best option is to order a new powerhead and switch it out..just cant afford dropping 10,000 on new motor even though it would be nice..and im told the new powerhead will have at least a year warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
