    '85 7.5hp, rebuilt water pump. Still issues with water flow to engine

    As mentioned you need more water. The pump should be completely submerged.

    Submersible dock lights.

    My boss had a light on his dock and the fishing was great. Lots of bait would come to the light and it was almost a guarantee that would get smashed by a big Snook right at the shadow line of the light. That was back in the 80’s and he had yellowish sodium light.

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    Well now you know what you have and don’t have to wonder whats going on under there. It’s always nice when you don’t have to wonder if this trip will be the last. I have seen a few boats towed in with the transom missing and a couple that still had the outboard hanging on by the steering...

    40hp Dead Top Cylinder

    Endless the carb is physically damaged there is not much that can go wrong that a through cleaning and rebuild can’t fix. Hopefully you didn’t run it like that for very long and damage anything as no fuel = no oil. But you won’t know that until you pull the head and take a peak.

    40hp Dead Top Cylinder

    A valuable lesson I have learned on here over the years is Racers knowledge is worth its weight in gold. If you want his help you need to answer the questions with findings and or results and not more questions. I could go into a rabbit hole trying to explain what I mean but in a nut shell if...

    Booze and boat don’t always mix well.

    This guy told the cops just before he was arrested that he had made a navigation error and didn’t see the beach. 😂

    Any saving the engine? I’m devastated

    I think you can do it your self. It’s not a complicated job. Should be done at least every 5 years regardless of use. The impeller dries out and becomes hard and brittle with time. Broken fins can cause blockage and be a pain to find and remove. It’s worth doing the regular maintenance.

    I think I killed my TE60TLENE

    Head down to a marina or boat ramp and start asking around for a reputable shop or rebuilder. Word of mouth recommendations far out weight and advertising you will find. Jmo Best of luck.

    1972 Evinrude 40 outboard no spark?

    Renting A Boat

    Pay close attention to any instructions your given and use common sense. It could save your life and the life of others. It’s not like driving a car and you don’t have brakes. There are lots of videos out there of uneducated boaters. Watch a few for some pointers on what not to do. Enjoy

    Had to send a FAX or "Back in the 20th Century."

    I was just looking through all my notes from a building project that was done in 2000. Pages and pages of faxed notes. It really was the time saver of the day.

    Pet surgery cost😮

    Poor guy just wants to run I’m sure. It amazing how resilient animals are. Kinda of like me as a kid. I didn’t care about pain I just wanted to be doing something. Those days are long gone.

    1983 35hp siezed after sitting for 5 years.

    This is a strange one for sure. I have never seen an over sized piston that wasn’t marked but I’m sure they are out there. Maybe it was rebuilt oversized pistons were driven home and she never ran again. You may never know. Keep us posted on the investigation.
