If I could rate zero stars, I would. Buyer beware. Paid $3,500 for a so-called rebuilt outboard from Fulton Marine. It was supposed to have had a total power head rebuild including pistons, rings, carb rebuild and water pump and 6 month warranty from first use. Drove from KC to OKC last year to pick it up. Obviously, with all the flooding did not get an opportunity to use until this year. Maiden voyage was riddled with issues of alarms and under performance. Reached out via phone and text and received no response. First thing I found were some disconnected wires prior to the first outing, and good thing, as the oil injection and overheat alarms had been disconnected. Obviously that was done purposely. Took to my marine mechanic. We discovered the oil tank was defective and required replacement. About $200 in parts and labor. Power head was still original and had not been rebuilt. Original gaskets still intact. Overheat problem was found to be a bad water pump and housing at $400, so clearly not replaced. Carbs are questionable as it floods out at full throttle. That repair cost is still pending.
Once again, buyer beware. Not a company I would trust doing any work, which is supported by the negative reviews. read more
