    2000 evinrude 15hp 4 stroke Run 15 min go in limp mode

    have you tried insulating the PP from the engine itself to keep heat away. a few fiber washers to create a space between parts may allow enough heat "prevention" ( I do not know if it can be done or work mind you it all depends if the heat is internal or external to the PP

    just a Q ? ... is that engine actually equipt'd with a "pre-ETEC" like EMM to actually know... when to go in limp mode (SAFE mode) or is the engine ..."limping" to lower rpm'S because of fuel, air or heat related issue ?

    J6rcrm will shutdown after running for a short time

    Smaller boats have a tendency to raise the bow (front) due to the weight on the backend + motor etc.. so tuck in the motor. If the bow is high and you can't see where you are heading you will know ! small prop nicks can be filed away ... at trolling/fishing speeds it wont matter much ...

    1967 Johnson 20 FD21-r Model

    If you live in freezing temp winters, DRAIN it in the fall Bag the plugs and tie them to the tiller.. RR.... I think the best pratice is to REFILL for winter storage. no water will get in anyway, any water drops stuck inside and humidity will not reach exposed surfaces.
