Taking over my dad's Wellcraft v20 fisherman with a 175 Evinrude ficht. It runs great but burns a lot of oil. Also there is and has been oil getting in the transom for sometime (multiple years). We rode completely around Ono this afternoon. The motor has begun making a noise when lowering the motor down. It also does the when trimming the motor down.
So who in Orange Beach would be good to service it?
Take it to Rod's Marine Service in Gulf Shores and talk to Jeremy. He's done all my work on my eTec and nobody else touches my engine. You will be hard pressed to find anyone else to work on your Fichts. :thumbup:
Lots of problems with the fichts. That was the last OMC and the first BRP. Hate to say it but in the long run you might be better of getting a new engine for the wellcraft. I have the same boat and a 150 is perfect for that hull. Good luck.
