Free: Mercury 4.5 Golden Series outboard (project!)

[John Kennett]

I've got an old Mercury 4.5 Golden Series outboard if anyone wants it before I dump it. Believed to be late 1970s, no idea when it was last run, or if it runs at all. One of the clamp screws is siezed. Collect from Brighton.

Please form an orderly queue . . .

If I can arrange someone to collect it I'd take it just for something to tinker with in the garage... but not having much luck right now

The engine is fine I just like playing with engines Not brave enough to attack my 150's yet though

Just want some nice weather so I can get out on it again with the kids... really need to get the other one sold at some point too!

Charming. A very good engine and well worth holding onto (I've been told).

I was at HQ today (finally getting donegaldan sorted with a proper boat ) and the Boss was extolling the virtues of the very same motor...

...he had heard that we were on the scrounge for transport to Easdale and thinks that we should rough it this year!

Bargain of the year for someone then!

Oooh An aux to match my main lump!

...just a shame about the 1000 odd mile round trip.

If anyone from your neck of the woods is heading for Easdale, I'll buy them a beer or two for transport, otherwise I'll have to just keep going wih the 'rude.

[John Kennett]

I don't mind putting it on a pallet if you want to get Speedshift or someone to pick it up.

[9D280]

Is it long or short shaft, and does it at least move when you pull the string?

Not very fussy, am I?

the brown/gold decals are 1984 > 1985

Short shaft, turns over fine. It may even be a runner!

It's the blue and gold version.

John

What side of Brighton are you?
If I can arrange getting over to you we'd probably have it off you as it would make a good project for the smaller Nashers to do up under supervision.

Nasher.

[John Kennett]

I'm on the side of town nearest you, about 5 minutes off the A27. I could probably get the motor dropped off in Emsworth if that would help?

[9D280]

Short is no use as an aux.

If the mini Nashers don't want it, let me know.

[Nasher]

John

Yes please, we'll have it.

PM me a number and I'll give you a call.
As they'll be in no rush Emsworth would be good, but don't want to put you out.

thanks

Nasher

[John Kennett]

OK, the little Nashers get it.

PM on the way
