"1975 85 hp evinrude 85593e has been or is running hot, melted timer base retainer. I changed the waterpump when i got the boat as a precaution. Verified that the hot horn works by grounding it and it works fine. I have never heard it till i checked it.
I have read previous post and i am confused where exactly is the water should be exiting the motor. Is it the holes above the cavitation plate or the two holes coming out from underneath the motor. I have never seen anything more than a mist or spray of water coming from the two holes under the motor. Nothing like i'm used to seeing when my mercury "pees". Whereever it is supposed to be exiting can i test it on muffs or will it need to be in water?
I have been told to replace thermostats but i cant find them in my manual or parts diagrams. Does this motor have thermostats and if so how many and where? Is there a way to check the function of them?
Thanks to all who has answered me in the past couple weeks and those who continue to answer me. Thanks to the knowledge from this discussion board ya'll have helped me tremedously."
