[Rhodes22-list] Motor report.

[Bob Keller]

My 10 year old Tohatsu 8 hp 2 stroke just needed a new carburetor and I finally had to replace the impeller after 10 years and many hours.  Actually the impeller still looked pretty good. That was the first repair it has ever needed. It is running flawlessly again.Bob K
