1. General

1.1 Who: Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge. What: Sporting and Recreational Goods and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (NAICS: 423910) Where: Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge, 14 Water Street, Milbridge, ME 04658

1.2 This project is to replace two aging outboard motors on our 2000 24’ Munson Packcat landing craft boat. This boat currently has Sea Star hydraulic steering. The current Honda outboards are getting up in hours and are starting to show signs of their age with mechanical issues and general loss of performance. To maintain consistency with our other boats and allow us to use the current tools and maintenance parts we have on hand replacement motors should be current year model Honda marine 90 HP four strokes with 25” shaft. Acquisition and install should include new control box, and cables along with the relevant accessories such as key switches, gauges, and harness kits. Propellers should be appropriate for use in our environment and size of the boat. Maine Coastal Islands NWR exists on coastal and oƯshore islands located along the entire coast of Maine from the New Hampshire border to Canada. This boat is a critical asset for us to be able to move people and gear to and from these islands. We frequently operate in shallow rocky areas around these islands and travel in open bays and ocean in the Gulf of Maine.

1.3 Contractor should know the ideal motors for our boat and operating conditions and should be able to provide these motors with a little wait time as possible.
