evinrudeparts.ca ----can offer free shipping on orders of $79 or more.-----You need to do some trouble shooting / testing before ordering parts I say.---I suggest the latest water pump kit with instructions.
Still lots of folks out there who do not install a new impeller every 5 years.----Typical to see that damage.-----Compression test must be done.----Post the numbers.
The fitting where water tube enters the powerhead has a grommet.----Checked that ?----These motors run fairly cool.----Tell tale should never be hot.----Are you testing with boat launched or a test bucket ??
