Gents,
Found this circular "baffle" loose and rattling inside the exhaust house when removing the lower unit for water pump replacement. part number 3 in this diagram. https://www.marineengine.com/parts/...&manufacturer=Johnson§ion=Exhaust+Housing The legs on this disk were severely bent keeping if from snapping in (my assumption). Quite oily inside this cavity.
What does this part do? How is it replaced? How will the motor perform if it's missing? Just purchased this motor so have no personal experience of performance other than the word of the seller. Ran it in barrel prior to purchase and started and idled fine. I'm replacing the water pump due to a "weak" pee hole stream.
Evinrude J15RCNC. diagrams says this part is only used in the 15hp model.
Thanks for your thoughts.
