    Exhaust manifold help. Dauntless 225 with Stringer outdrive.

    Yes I redid the water pump yesterday and ran block sealer through it. Ran nicely and after checking the oil level this morning it appears to be OK. I just used permatex for the water pump as the one i bought for the CJ5 had a slot where the bypass is and was shooting water. Cant seem to find the...

    Exhaust manifold help. Dauntless 225 with Stringer outdrive.

    I got it. Thanks for the info. Bad part is I still had water in the oil after replacing the lifters. I just put a new valley pan gasket on it yesterday. I picked up a radiator and some long hoses so I can try to do a block seal on it. I'll be using "Seal Up" Liquid Glass metallic. (Copper) and...

    1971 Evinrude motor

    I would start with the points and condenser. Its the easiest cheapest thing to check and replace. Check firing order is correct. You will be needing a manual to do the work and other things down the line. Trouble shooting is the best way to diagnose your issues. Just throwing parts at it could...

    Looking for proper name for this drive

    I believe that is called a Hydro shift or something similar to that. That was the next model up from an electric shift. They did away with the electric shift due to the Default neutral if the coils failed or the boat no longer had power to shift it. The newer model default was then made drive...

    WOW Ok I think I got it. The camel hump threw me off. The gasket is like a valve one way for a closed system and rotate it for an open system. I am just going to rotate the heat exchanger to the proper position. Last owner had it set wrong. Still need to know if the cold raw water inlet hose...

    Exhaust manifold help. Dauntless 225 with Stringer outdrive.

    If you lay the two pictures below on top of each other it may be more clear on what I am trying to describe. There should be a hole but it is blocked off at the rear riser gasket and open at the heat exchanger. The blocked port gasket wont let water exit the Exhaust manifold. Is that correct or...

    No Its an open system. I am running off the muffs (Fake Lake) I just installed a new impellor and cup. Finished the motor today ran very nicely. Just worried about manifold temps. My sender unit is broken and the boat has an idiot light not a gage. That is why I need info about the hoses and...

    Be especially careful when dropping the lower unit that you do not break the Electromagnet coil wires. Have some support to keep it from dropping to much or you need to remove the wire running through the intermediate housing in order to remove it safely without damaging it. It cost a lot of...

    Exhaust manifold help. Dauntless 225 with Stringer outdrive.

    My exhaust manifolds have three slots this is the riser gasket at the rear of the exhaust manifold. The missing slot is the return of the water from the Thermostat T. I suppose it is supposed to be like that but how does the water then exit into the exhaust. I tried to force water into it with a...
