    1999 Ficht 175 rebuild update...

    just a quick note about my sick 175. Finally got taken apart, seems one hole not in good shape. will need honing and oversized pistons. not cheap. but since I have suffered 3 years with this, I can't complain. Now i gotta come up with the money. On a more fun note, have new Minn kota maxxum 70 sX and lorance 18c Combo ready to go on the boat. Kind ogf a bass boat extreme makeover!! I'll keep you all up to date. Hope to get a profile with pics this spring.

    Be sure you find the cause of the damaged piston.

    You sure you want to sink cash into that motor?

    As Rusty says, if ya don't find what caused the problem to begin with it will happen again!
