Hi all,
I have recently restored to life my friend's 1979/80 Evinrude 4HP, which he inherited from his Grandfather. It is a European model no: 49B36D, which Dan Gano (who supplied the parts) identified as a 1979 motor (4904/4932/4933) but with the points ignition from 1980/81, the E-4 models...

But as its a completely new question I thought I'd make a new post, I hope that's ok with the mods?
I wanted to ask if a failed seal here:

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and to outboard motors, having bought my Evinrude for ?1 last year. She runs like a dream, but when I checked the lower gear unit oil today ( I changed it last month), a fair amount of water (about 10% of the oil that came after) ran out of the drain plug before the...
