    Basically that's why I'd be doing it to, just to see if I can! Doing it in Seattle will mean that I'm going to lose money, oh well! 😆🤣😆

    1988 Johnson 70hp inspection

    Guys up here are doing what they call "hone boring" and then just replacing rings. If the motor is just well used and not messed up it's a good way to get some more use out of it. My prop shop guy, who's a good close personal friend, has a Bridgeport machine....I would be interested in any...

    Open this link, scroll down to 40 HP and under 1960 to 1970 you will see a Sierra part number. Click on that and the Sierra impeller and the Evinrude impeller will pop up. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/sierra-marine/quick-list/johnson-evinrude-sierra-impeller-water-pump.html Cheers
