[Rhodes22-list] engine replacement

Wed Sep 16 14:13:23 EDT 2015

Okay, so I started the outboard a few hours ago. Turned over flawlessly
with no adventitious sounds. Turned it immediately off and repeated. Same
thing. So I'm going to chance a replacement of the pump and blow out the
water line with some compressed air. The cost of the repair kit is maybe
$50. A new engine $2500 to $3000. It did not pee either time, so we know
the pump failed. We're just investigating on if the engine is still
salvageable and reliable. This will happen late next week. I'll keep you
posted. Graham, I hope to have learned not quite as hard a lesson as you
did years ago. We'll see.  Thanks everyone for your insights.
