    Fastrac Tilt/Trim Blow Out 1997 Evinrude 175 Ocean Pros

    Wound up making a aluminum plug and welding it. There was so much rot that needed to be ground away, making the wall dangerously thin around the diameter of the hole right up to the top of the cylinder. It was tricky to get good penetration without over-heating and warping the body. Replaced...

The water is just coming out at a slight trickle. I think the restriction...

    Heat Exchanger VS Radiator

    7.5 Kohler Generator RPM Measuring
