I have 1996 Evinrude Model E150SLEDB and need to know which of the 28 holes in block get the black rubber diverter jets. These holes surround each piston to channel water thru block from bottom entry to top piston then out thru thermostat to exhaust manifold. These rubber diverters are installed in block at Evinrude factory during assembly and only available by purchasing new block ! I called Evinrude C/S and was told no part number was assigned to those water dividers,jets. GREAT mine are warped and flogged from an overheat. Thanks Evinrude !!
These black rubber water diverters are about 15/64” OD x 1/16”ID x 1/4” long and press into these holes flush or just under surface of block so when head is torqued down the O ring head gaskets can be compressed correctly. Also need to know where the 1/16” bead of RTV
sealant to be applied to block surface. Manual shows areas but not how long the beads.
