have improved their motors over previous versions, there were lots of failures with old motors. This was good for selling replacement motors but bad for their reputation. They are still selling them but the supply has been a problem...be sure to check that whoever you buy from has in stock when you order......
Jon send me an e-mail. I noticed that you ordered your Alexseal paint from us and I want to know how it is holding up thus far. nhowe at hamiltonmarine. com
