Great thanks for the advice. I'll look up how to do a pressure test. Another noob question. Is there a reason why I'm changing the water pump? I didn't know it cools the lower unit.
Got my first boat...been a learning experience to say the least. It's got a 1986 25 hp evinrude two stroke. Previous owner said it had sat for a year and I saw it tested it in water in a tub. Seemed ok. Since I got it I took it out once for about a couple hours fishing. Found some problems...
