    1957 Evinrude 7.5HP Missing at low throttle

    4.5 mercury 2 stroke

    If we’re me I would look for a long shaft so you’re not having to hang over the stern so much to operate it. The adjustable kicker mount should provide enough set back to pass behind your trim tabs. Jmo

    mercury 9.8 hp .... water flows through but will not pee?

    Is the water level high enough? Pumps are not self priming and need to be completed submerged. 6” to 8” above the pump.

    1990 V4 runs on two cylinders at low RPMs

    It’s a pretty common problem on those plastic bowels. Replacing them with the updated aluminum bowels would be the way go.

    Engine building tip regarding gel-seal?

    I’m sure they would and as mentioned it’s probably a silly thought. But a few dab's here and there on the circumstance of the surface add up to a measurable dab in my eyes. I’m sure I’m over thinking it and would never do it in the place. Not even sure why I’m typing this😂

    Engine building tip regarding gel-seal?

    Don’t see a need for it myself. And honestly it may sound silly but I think it would likely interfere with the tolerance and getting a proper torque on your bolts. Jmo
