    1981 Evinrude 70HP will not start - 1 click shorts out

    What is this?!?! Wired to ignition.

    I found this under the center console, wired to the ignition. I'm not sure where the other end goes yet. Looks like towards the back of the boat. I have a 1982 Sea Squirt 16' Center Console, I'm trying to clean out the mess.

    1981 E70ELCIH - How to change the water intake screen?

    I have a 1981 E70ELCIH with a broken plastic water intake screen. I removed the lower unit and the water pump but still cannot reach the water intake screen. Do I have to break the seals and remove the drive shaft just to swap out the plastic screen?

    1981 E70ELCIH - water stops flowing out tell tale after 5 - 10 min

    Went to take the boat out recently. Started up ok, noticed the tell tale flow looked ok, let it idle while packing on the gear. After 5 - 10 min, I noticed the water stop flowing out the tell tale. I turned off the motor and got a little smell of burnt oil. After letting it cool off I hooked...
