My thoughts were by using a 5/16" threaded rod, a stack of machine screw washers and pressing it out that way using a small socket as the receiver end...

    The old "enough water in barrel" question

I have the water line half way up past the 'shifter rod connection plate'. I fill the barrel and let it sit for a bit so I think its priming. Last year I...

    plate or no plate that is the question

    What's the laws in your state? So you're trailering your boat 36 miles to launch/dock boat, get trailer weighed and then get title and plate for trailer. Do you drive the initial 36 miles without a plate? I'm in Ohio and have yet found a definite yes or no.

    1967 Evinrude 40hp- is this norm?

    So it is a 67' Evinrude 40hp outboard as stated.. And after sitting 6+ yrs it's running. But while running in a trashcan full of water, I notice the water gets an oily film in top. Once done and drain water, the drain hole just behind the prop oozes brown goo... Is this a faulty seal in the gear...
