I've never done a boat motor, but the good news is you have five months to figure it out . Buy a good manual and take your time .

djkimmel

You'll need a wrench, screwdriver, hammer and some duct tape (I always need duct tape somehow...?) I think. Anyway good luck getting out this spring. This fishing will be great whenever you get her running.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Dan, you forgot the ball bearings! Its all ball bearings nowadays. lol Way to go Don! Hope you get the motor going, you'll have a blast in it next summer. The only problem will be is the wife trying get you off the water. (just ask mine)

Nice Boat!! From that angle in the pic it looks like it's in great shape. Good luck on the repairs. Buy the service manual. Here's a site.

Does anyone know where I can get a service manual for a 175 HPDI from 2006?  The last site only went to 2005.  Thanks!

Don, don't forget me this spring either! I do plan on bringing my boat up in the spring so we'll have to hook up! I'm thinking middle of May since my club will be up there first of June.

I have rebuilt several motors in my time Don........including some outboards.  I will be happy to help you out when I can through the winter provided I get some of the "honey-do's" my honey has for me to do.  I have a couple of toilets to replace and some other odds and ends.  Congratulations on your new boat.  What did you do with the tracker???
