Mine looked like the one in pic 1. There is no way to connect it like pic 2. The problem is that when the primer knob is...

    I got this motor running but it does not appear to be pumping water. I am having a hard time determining where the water should be exiting from. One video I saw of a different year shows it coming out where the exhaust comes out. Any ideas on this? Thanks

    1976 Sea King 6HP

    I have the motor listed in the subject line. My concern is that when I use a flush adapter to run the motor at the house so it does not sit for too long uncranked the motor does not push water through the cooling system. Sometimes it does and other times it does not. It worked ok in the lake a...

    Lowrance Hook2 7

    So I have the new Hook2 and now I am trying to decide where to mount it. How much should I be concerned about water splash on it once in a while? Water may splash on it as I hit waves etc not wet like submerged. I would think these should be fine. I assume you can use them in the rain? Feedback...
