    Impeller Issues

    Check the rubber tube, pull it from the block fitting....you might have a plug. If it still doesn't pee, check for an overheat with an IR gun. Next is pull the foot and examine everything related.

    Dies in gear

    Get a spark jump tester and see if you have a nice big blue arc that jumps 7/16 or so. Jump testers are about $15 bucks at any auto shop. If that's good start looking at your fuel system. When you say "it dies" are you talking on the water or on muffs?

    Mystery Bolt and New Gasket?

    Bolt is a shouldered bolt with a plastic bushing. Definitely could have come off your motor or was sitting down in the lower shroud from an earlier repair event. Thoroughly look around your motor. I saw what looked like a wet motor with giggling droplets. Never saw water dripping or spraying out.

    E25TECCA Quit peeing

    Did you pull the hose off the fitting and check for blockage? If so check thermostat and area around it. Once it's back together try unscrewing the plastic nipple that the pee tube hooks on to at the block. These are all pinch points.

    Dies in gear

    Just about everything that can go wrong with an engine can do that. Let's start with the compression numbers and go from there.

    Military Outboard OMC 35hp

    Fuel pump diaphragm, fuel hoses and more importantly fuel line clamps. Normal ny-ties and hose clamps do not work well. I buy fuel line hose clamps and omc ny-ties are built differently. Personally, convert it to an electric start before you send the old man off on his own.

    Mystery Bolt and New Gasket?

    Looks like giggling water drops and not actual leaks....could be wrong I guess. Try a torque wrench on the bolts? (Not sure you need to) Bolt picture is the same video again. Repost bolt picture.

    1986 e-rude 25hp kill switch

    Easiest thing to do, is unplugged the big red plug and jump start your outboard back the motor. That will tell you if it's somewhere else like the control box or the wiring harness. You won't be able to shut your motor off the regular way but there's multiple ways you can shut it off including...

    Evinrude 55 1978 gearcase

    Any friend with a tig welder can do this in minutes....at least the welding. Grind/polish yourself. Bring beer. If you want, and since it's off there is a few more seals you can replace. Inexpensive maintenance can help make sure the old girl can still parade around.
