Evinrude 55hp Pee Hole? Also Noisey.

[rayjay]

I guess it's a 77. model number 55773D. The mech where I bought the boat said that year model didn't have a pee hole. There doesn't appear to be a place for one.<br /><br />We ran it a little in their tank and the motor was a bit noisey. In a motorcycle I would have said that it was piston slap from wear. Are these motors just noisey? I will pull the plugs and see how much of the cyl wall I can see. It fired right up.<br /><br />Thanks!

The pistons do fit rather loosely in the bore compared to most anything else. It's kinda hard to tell if it's escessive because it always seems to be.<br /><br />You can add a pee hole. All you need is about 16" of speedometer or aquarium hose and a brass fitting to fit into the block. Some have a 1/8" pipe plug on the top of the cylinder head that you can use to tap in. Other times you have to make your own place. Then it's just a matter of drilling a hole in the pan to stick the hose out of.
