[QUOTE="SaltyBuckster, post: 171374, member: 4010"] Been turning myself into an Evinrude mechanic thanks to the manual from Jim.I should have done this 35 years ago.I really like doing it.I did'nt know anything at all about this motor that I got.So,I figured that since it did start up that there could'nt be too much wrong with it.I've been in the autobody business for too long.Everything has to look better then it should in my eyes,lol.I was just going to sand it down and paint it to match the boat,but no,I decided to take it all apart and check it out.

[img]https://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac164/jigmaster1/Project%20Crappie%20Boat/DSC00006-5.jpg[/img] Impeller was shot.No signs of any overheating issues.Comes apart tomorrow to see how the gears look.Then all back together and an OD Green paint job.The cowl is all prepped just have to do the metal stuff.By then it will be Reelfoot Grasslands stencil time for everything.
