Report
Had second hand motor fitted by this rude man. Hooked up cables from centre console to motor not under floor but straight across to side ( at 40 cm height) who does this! Sent me away with it with old 2 stroke fuel still hook up. Never test run the motor. Motor stalls on first trip in 1 metre crashing swell. Nearly lost my life and that of my wife son and nephew. One chance and it started but would rev and just managed to idle over the wave. He didnt want to here what I had to say and was extremely rude over the phone and seemed to actually want a fight! 4th call through and got hold
