Whats up guys. You guys are so awesome that I decided to hit you up for advice again. I got a 40 hp mariner (40 E 6E9 s 104752), 1985 2 cylinder outboard. Basically a copy of those old Yamaha fm series.
Here's my quandry, a head of a bolt on the exhaust panel (port side of motor when mounted on boat, attached to cylinder head) was twisted off. Its on of the middle/inside ones (as in not around the edge), and only a bit gone from it. However, some water is trickling out at idle. So, do I have to extract that bolt or is JB weld worth a shot? Or will jb weld hurt anything?
BTW, I just replaced the stat with one I found on another motor. So, if the motor and water coming out of tell tale hose stays cool even after thirty seconds of having the motor running (and water coming out of bolt hole) does that mean my thermostat is functioning properly?
Thanks for everything before, and in advance guys.
