    1974 Manatee Rebuild!!

    Re: 1974 Manatee Rebuild!! Is this ground down enuff to glass over? The bottom of the hull is pretty thin and I don't want to go through. I did not clean it yet. Should I grind more to get all the brown out or is this good?

    Oil leak?

    I have a 1981 HP V4 Evinrude Model #E90MLCIM. There is oil leaking out of the exhaust cover. It runs great but the plugs are a little wet when I pull them after a day on the water.
