    1976 Johnson 6 hp no water coming out of exhaust

    In theory. There is a chance there could be some rot in the water tube and you’re losing a bit of water on the way up. How did the pump housing and wear plate look? Any deep wear marks that could prevent good water flow? Pump housing seal looked good? Quality impeller?

    1970 evinrude 115 - cdi pulse pack shortens out starter?

    Take the good advise and Install the impeller now. Don’t wait any longer. If the motor has been sitting around the impeller could be dried out and it if breaks up it could cause bigger problems with blocking passages. It may be fine but why take that chance especially if you already have a...

    I’m not sure about fresh water but in salt that would be considered normal corrosion of the anodes doing there job as a sacrificial item. They may have more or less zinc than the ones on your motor. I wish by boat would stay that clean.

    1979 Johnson 6hp Prop slip

    Glad you got it figured and are back on the water. When I was a kid I had 72’ I believe 6 hp. I always fished the flats in Fl and would often get caught from a fast outgoing tide. After tearing up a couple props I started making my own drive pins from brass rod and would saw a 1/8th of the way...

    Only having for the boat for the short time you have it would be hard to tell IMO.

Previous owner could...

I made a 18’ skiff 15 years ago with spruce 2x4’s and 3/8 exterior ply for sides and 3/4 for the bottom and...

    Replacing old 2 stroke with newer 4 stroke advice?

    Long live the 2 smoke! There are a few ponds my area that have become 4 stroke only and I suspect they will be electric only within 8 or 10 years and people will be swapping out again. I can live without using the ponds. More than enough water around me.
