I have a evinrude 70 vro believe a 86-89... had a issue on the lake the other day and was looking for some opinions fellas.
So left the marina got on plane about 5 minutes into running i felt a power loss looked back quick and seen grey smoke. I immediatly shut down the boat and pulled the cowling. Motor was super hot and i noticed my "Pee Hole" hosing had melted half way down. Explaining the over heating...
Problem was after letting the motor cool and jerry rigging a new hose i couldn't get the boat to fire up.... only way i got it to fire was spraying starting fluid and turning my choke/throttle bar up to fire it and it ran very hard and died shortly after.
Main worry is how much damage could i have done in those 5 minutes of the Hose being melted... had no water in the cowling or around the motor. Hose seemed to have sealed itself closed not letting any water loose near the motor.
My concern is i blew a cylinder or 2...
Any help would be more then appreciated guys. In a bind here thank you for looking.
