Gday guys, have been reading quietly on and off for months now and have finally decided to take the plunge and start restoring my scott bonnar 45. My new turf has been laid so clock it ticking to get it up and running!
I was given it from a mate in exchange for a lobster I caught, so the price has started extremely cheap. Hopefully I can contain my urges when restoring.
I will get some photos up tomorrow of the machine. Its got a black 3hp b&s on it? Most of the ones ive seen had a red one? Are these motors worth keeping or are there new motors worth considering which can bolt straight on which I should consider?
The reel looks like it hasnt been sharpened and has a couple of bends in one of the blades. Is this something that cna be repaired or requires a new one? I imagine a photo will aid this.
Anyways thought Id get my maiden post up and look forward to exchanging info with everyone.
Regards
Justo
