I will second what "Treats" said, as I too know of that particular motor.

Suggest you take it to a good Suzi service dealer. Have them give the motor a good check over. Spend the 1,500 + on what you need to repair it.

I like the suggestion of looking for a kicker for two reasons... #1 Safety on LOTW where you spend a lot of your time. #2, Sounds like you troll a lot...a $2k kicker is a lot easier to replace than a big motor...plus you get the safety factor.

Your Johnson/Suzi is not even broke in yet. That motor, with proper maintenance, should run the life of that boat.
