Suzuki Outboard
Well I pulled the lower unit off to put in a new water pump and found a disintegrated thrust bearing had taken out the water pump housing and sent enough metal into the gearbox to ruin the rest of the bearings. So needless to say the lower unit has been rebuilt with a new bearings, seals and then painted. Found everything I needed super cheap at boats.net but it did take six weeks to get everything for this old motor. Also picked up new fuel fittings, hose and 6gal tank at the local West Marine. All that's left to do here is pick up a new motor bracket...
Barlow 15 Winches
These were gummed up so bad they wouldn't turn hardly at all. Disassembled and cleaned everything with solvent, replaced pawl springs and reassembled with fresh winch grease. I found some Barient springs at West Marine that worked perfect. Spent $9 for a pack of 10 so I should be good for a very long time, part number 6355705. I found some service info on the web for this model of winch.
