Five Working engines

Many engines have been repaired in the last month.

Roy Benedict and Charlie Cleland brought in two of our 25 HP Mercury engines to Alameda to be repaired. The engine previously stored at Susan Carter's house cost $86.74 to repair. The engine stored at the Cappelli's warehouse required some carburetor repair and timing work. This engine cost $235.50 to repair. The total for these engines was substantially less than the $700.00 maximum per engine which the executive board approved.

Meanwhile, Jack Cash repaired our newly purchased 25 HP engine, which is 19 years old. This engine had a perforation in the fuel pump diaphragm. Jack had the help of Rocky Rockafellow's precision, calibrated, metric crescent wrench. This repair was also quite cheap.

John Kelly has purchased a new propeller for our 20 HP Mercury, which cost around $90.

With all of these repairs, we have 5 working engines.
