New member with Gamefisher question

[mgratton]

Hi, new member here. I've been using a 40# trolling motor which is a bit slow. So, I got a Gamefisher (Tanaka) 3.0 in good running shape for $100 though it isn't pretty. The only immediate concern in that there's a crack in the gas tank but I already bought a patch kit for that.

I'm just wondering if anybody knows of good resources for keeping these motors running since I'm seeing that they're discontinued and a lot of the parts are no longer available. It came with the owner's manual but any other info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This link was priceless for helping me get my 15 hp gamefisher going. Look around his website he might have a smaller gamefisher repair chronicled.

That's the sort of site I'm looking for though he doesn't cover the 3hp. But thanks for the post.

I have the Gamefisher 3.5 HP OB.
SearsPartsDirect.com has some but not all parts. Check them out and search for your model number. It also has diagrams.

eBay is another place I keep a eye on for the Gamefisher models. Though most of them on there seem to be for the 7HP and 15HP.
