No I haven't been able to get it fixed. Thank you for the link. I am pretty sure the solution for the problem on iboats is the same solution for me. change the oil filter and the oil. My boat sat for a few years before I bought it so I am pretty sure the oil gooped up and is restricting flow to the oil pump. Looks like a very easy fix but I can't get a mechanic in town to touch it. I am not mechanically enclined at all but have a neighbor who is so we may tear into it this week. There is only one guy in the state of UT that I can find who will work on a Suzuki motor and he's very difficult to get pinned down. I've been trying to get it into him for weeks. If anyone reads this post and are looking at buying a boat with a Suzuki motor on it don't do it in UT! Sooner or later you'll need someone to work on it and you'll be driving the boat to CO as I'm going to probably have to do. I'm extremely frustrated to not be able to take it out in the foreseeable future.
