My motor started making a bad clacking sound while going across the lake today. Slowed down to an idle and it was shaking and banging really loud. Sounded like two squirrels with hammers trying to kill each other in there.
I'm going to need a good mechanic, I'm guessing for a rebuild. I live in Ennis, so anyone close to here would be a plus. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Its a '99 Yamaha 115 2 stroke. I think the model is C115TLRX. About how much would a rebuild cost?

If it is a rebuild then I would recommend East Texas Outboard Rebuild in Tool. They did mine and I have been very pleased.

I did a compression test just now. These results mean its blown and needs a rebuild, right? Would there be any chance of repairing it without doing a full rebuild?
