    1970 evinrude 115 - cdi pulse pack shortens out starter?

    I will take your advice. I will install the new impeller, the trailer was last registered in 02, the boat tag says 95. I bet i will come across more worn out and weathered rubbers, plastics, gaskets. And i will add a buzzer and check the overheat circuit. Thank guys. Awesome forum..
