Author	Topic:   Nissan 70 HP on a Nauset
the1jonc	posted 11-19-2009 06:29 PM ET (US)         Blew the foot on my tired 70 Yamaha. I found low hour freshwater 70 HP Nissan. Any thoughts on this motor on my 1971 Nauset? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Jon

It sits out on a buoy in saltwater all summer long. He bought the rig used in 2000. It gets winterized every year and serviced/checked in the Spring prior to use. It has never required anything other than routine service. Hard to knock it.
