Yep, for sure, blocking the intake grill stops any cooling water fast. One other thing I forgot to mention is a blocked behind the exhaust cover can stop it exiting, another way to prevent any flow of water. It's only a small outlet and it is common for the internal anode to break off an block the hole...

Great work Doug. I know someone who, on a world sail, had a Seagull tender outboard with a poorly bottom end and while in the Far East they stumbled over a Seagull lower end stuck deep into a beach. I know it sounds far-fetched but that one was better then what they had and it served for their trip. Just shows that engine amalgamation is a real thing as you show. It does amaze me how intricate and complicated many OB engines have become, especially multi-cylinder 4 strokes. They are as sophisticated as modern motorbike motors but work in much harsher environments, often with insufficient care. They are like watches where a careless owner has forgotten to screw down the winder yet complains that they fail. Cheers for the content!

This video couldn't have come at a better time. I've been dealing with my 85 3.6 liter Evinrude Looper. It's been overheating. despite putting a brand new water pump & housing on it, it won't build water pressure, and overheats. I removed the thermostats and ran the engine to see if it was pumping water to the top of the engine and it was, but there was quite a bit of exhaust coming out of the thermostat holes. I asked on a OMC performance page if this was normal, and was told it was, so I didn't think much of it (as this engine has always been extremely reliable). To make a long story short, I wound up getting it really hot, thought I ruined it. hot horns were going on and off randomly, could never get more than about 5psi water pressure at the gauge (I surface drive the prop with low water pickups and nosecone). Sadly the engine 'heat seized' and quit. Next day, the engine was free, made good compression, turned flywheel by hand, felt good with no catches. used a bore scope and couldn't see any damage on pistons, and plugs looked good (no aluminum dust on them). Started engine and it ran, without lower unit on. Did a water pressure test by using a garden hose and hose clamp on the water intake pipe, and water started leaking out the head gaskets. Removed heads and it looks like no leaks on the combustion sealing rings. Cylinder bores look good, pistons look good (no marks of detonation). But cylinder sleeve #3 has rotated in the block about 1/8 of a turn, half way closing off the valves(ports). Gotta heat the block in a oven and rotate it back into place, but haven't done so yet, because I was thinking there's probably a crack in the water jacket between the exhaust housing and water jacket. But now I'm thinking the head gaskets probably failed. Would you think I'm most likely correct? Should I have the block and heads magnafluxed? Thanks for your channel, you've giving good info in the past.

I even get the slick simply by standing on the transom and forcing the leg to dip in the water, so whatever it is its on the casing too.

You can also lay a piece of timber along the length of the fin when hammering to reduce the risk of them breaking when hammering.

@zedcartwright5267 Жыл бұрын
On Evinrudes they have three water deflectors (rubber hose inserts) one at the top of the cylinder and two at the bottom cylinder on each head which are pulled out and installed by pushing new ones into the designated slots along the cylinder. They divert circulated water, so it flows in a specific direction for cooling. If any of these defectors collapse from age or heat and are distorted or if they are missing it will cause the engine to overheat. I read that you can go to an auto parts store and buy hose with 3/8" outside diameter and cut it to the lengths you need and use it. Boat parts outlets want $7 to $15 a piece for these hose pieces less than 2" long. The ones in this 1979 35hp Evinrude that I am replacing the head gasket are bad and I am thinking about matching the hose up at an auto parts store to save paying around $25. Do you have any videos on this? I bought this engine with the engine surface looking like new for $200 with the top cylinder at 120lbs and zero for the bottom cylinder. It looks like someone replaced the head gasket recently, but it blew again. It was burnt throw at the bottom where the two bad water deflectors are. The bolts also seemed too loose like someone did not re-torque the head after running it. I drilled two holes in the lower cowl housing so I can fit a short extension through and put a socket on in order to torque the two bottom bolts. The head seems to be true using a framing square. Cylinders all smooth but glazed up. Can I use a chemical to clean up the glaze with the motor tilted so excess runs away from the rings or should I just scotch brite or sandpaper it just enough to shine and wiping it out? Didn't want to hone it and chance getting abrasive to the rings. This is a long shaft with electric start and controls. I have a 78 short shaft with tiller handle that i plan on putting this power head on the base to use the short shaft housing and tiller handle. Plan on changing the longer shift rod to the shorter one and using the same foot from the 79 model if after changing the water deflectors and head gasket this 79 motor turns out to be as good as it looks. Also, will bolt on the pull start from the 78 so I have both electric and pull start. Coils, power pack, fuel pump all were recently changed by previous owner. So, like you are doing in your video just piecing it together since a friend gave me the 78 motor which sat up for years. If everything works out should have a great motor for around $260 with cost of gaskets, deflectors, and thermostat. If not, the parts are worth what I have invested and may rebuild the 79 if necessary.

How do you know if the head gasket is blown I have a 1970 evinrude 70hp I changed the water pump only cause the engine was a barn find so I installed a new one it didnt have a tell tale so I added one near the thermostat and no water coming out I let it run for a good min or two nothing I see water coming out of the nose of the gearbox like just above it alarm goes off after 5 min running with muffs took out thermostat cleaned it tested it on stove in boiling water she opens in stumped gonna maybe take the foot back off and stick the garden hose up to the water tube and see if any comes out the thermostat hole with no rad an Coolant res🎉ervoir like🎉 a skidoo how do tell if it's head gasket on an outboard I have a new thermostat coming is it possible that engine ain't designed to run with muffs cause it ran good few yrs back it's been sitting for a few I'm almost out of ideas

Yep, for sure, blocking the intake grill stops any cooling water fast. One other thing I forgot to mention is a blocked behind the exhaust cover can stop it exiting, another way to prevent any flow of water.

Great work Doug. I know someone who, on a world sail, had a Seagull tender outboard with a poorly bottom end and while in the Far East they stumbled over a Seagull lower end stuck deep into a beach. I know it sounds far-fetched but that one was better then what they had and it served for their trip. Just shows that engine amalgamation is a real thing as you show. It does amaze me how intricate and complicated many OB engines have become, especially multi-cylinder 4 strokes. They are as sophisticated as modern motorbike motors but work in much harsher environments, often with insufficient care. They are like watches where a careless owner has forgotten to screw down the winder yet complains that they fail. Cheers for the content!

Burnt lower engine gasket (base gasket) is also one failure in small 2 stroke outboards you need to keep your eye on when the water pump fails and engine overheats. Most telling symptom of blown lower gasket is in most cases that the engine runs only without the motor cover.

Thanks Troy, I'll let Adrian know.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I've been dealing with my 85 3.6 liter Evinrude Looper. It's been overheating. despite putting a brand new water pump & housing on it, it won't build water pressure, and overheats. I removed the thermostats and ran the engine to see if it was pumping water to the top of the engine and it was, but there was quite a bit of exhaust coming out of the thermostat holes. I asked on a OMC performance page if this was normal, and was told it was, so I didn't think much of it (as this engine has always been extremely reliable). To make a long story short, I wound up getting it really hot, thought I ruined it. hot horns were going on and off randomly, could never get more than about 5psi water pressure at the gauge (I surface drive the prop with low water pickups and nosecone). Sadly the engine 'heat seized' and quit. Next day, the engine was free, made good compression, turned flywheel by hand, felt good with no catches. used a bore scope and couldn't see any damage on pistons, and plugs looked good (no aluminum dust on them). Started engine and it ran, without lower unit on. Did a water pressure test by using a garden hose and hose clamp on the water intake pipe, and water started leaking out the head gaskets. Removed heads and it looks like no leaks on the combustion sealing rings. Cylinder bores look good, pistons look good (no marks of detonation). But cylinder sleeve #3 has rotated in the block about 1/8 of a turn, half way closing off the valves(ports). Gotta heat the block in a oven and rotate it back into place, but haven't done so yet, because I was thinking there's probably a crack in the water jacket between the exhaust housing and water jacket. But now I'm thinking the head gaskets probably failed. Would you think I'm most likely correct? Should I have the block and heads magnafluxed? Thanks for your channel, you've giving good info in the past.

The poppet valve is a valve that is opened by water pressure (unlike a thermostat that opens with temperature) The idea is to increase the flow of water through the head at higher RPM. It's hard for me to show as these smaller outboards don't have one.
I get the funny feeling that I would get two old outboards, each with the same problems.

It also could the the corrosion at the top of the driveshaft that I was worried about in this video. Really all you can do is apply more heat, more oil and more pressure. Sometimes if I can open up a small gap I will try hammering wooden wedges into the gap. You can also lay a piece of timber along the length of the fin when hammering to reduce the risk of them breaking when hammering.

I have just purchased a s/h rib with a 2006 8hp Mariner 2 stroke not running but told it needed a carby overhaul (same configuration as the Tohatsu's in this video). With no history i decided to replace impella & overhaul carby. Cranked it up today and runs great on muffs with a good flow out of tell tale but placed in a bin of water (8" above skeg line so pump should prime), and no water coming out of tell tale and engine starting to overheat, pulled it out and back on muffs and fine again with scalding hot water coming out of tell tale for a minute before the fresh water cycled through. I really don't want to but thinking head to come off and check thermostat, galleries etc. but hoping you might have a suggestion where i should start to investigate? Thanks muchly

Nicely diagnosed!
Hey Stu. I'm a week away from getting my first boat... a used 14' runabout with a 40hp 2 stroke merc from 1999 so I'm madly trying to aquire a lifetime's worth of knowledge in a week of watching youtube vids. :) From years of working on cars (mostly British cars from the 1960's) I'm familiar with overheating problems, but they've got temperature guages and radiators that froth and bubble... small outboards have neither, so how do you tell it's overheating before it seizes and you're left floating in the middle of nowhere?
On Evinrudes they have three water deflectors (rubber hose inserts) one at the top of the cylinder and two at the bottom cylinder on each head which are pulled out and installed by pushing new ones into the designated slots along the cylinder. They divert circulated water, so it flows in a specific direction for cooling. If any of these defectors collapse from age or heat and are distorted or if they are missing it will cause the engine to overheat. I read that you can go to an auto parts store and buy hose with 3/8" outside diameter and cut it to the lengths you need and use it. Boat parts outlets want $7 to $15 a piece for these hose pieces less than 2" long. The ones in this 1979 35hp Evinrude that I am replacing the head gasket are bad and I am thinking about matching the hose up at an auto parts store to save paying around $25. Do you have any videos on this? I bought this engine with the engine surface looking like new for $200 with the top cylinder at 120lbs and zero for the bottom cylinder. It looks like someone replaced the head gasket recently, but it blew again. It was burnt throw at the bottom where the two bad water deflectors are. The bolts also seemed too loose like someone did not re-torque the head after running it. I drilled two holes in the lower cowl housing so I can fit a short extension through and put a socket on in order to torque the two bottom bolts. The head seems to be true using a framing square. Cylinders all smooth but glazed up. Can I use a chemical to clean up the glaze with the motor tilted so excess runs away from the rings or should I just scotch brite or sandpaper it just enough to shine and wiping it out? Didn't want to hone it and chance getting abrasive to the rings. This is a long shaft with electric start and controls. I have a 78 short shaft with tiller handle that i plan on putting this power head on the base to use the short shaft housing and tiller handle. Plan on changing the longer shift rod to the shorter one and using the same foot from the 79 model if after changing the water deflectors and head gasket this 79 motor turns out to be as good as it looks. Also, will bolt on the pull start from the 78 so I have both electric and pull start. Coils, power pack, fuel pump all were recently changed by previous owner. So, like you are doing in your video just piecing it together since a friend gave me the 78 motor which sat up for years. If everything works out should have a great motor for around $260 with cost of gaskets, deflectors, and thermostat. If not, the parts are worth what I have invested and may rebuild the 79 if necessary.
I’m having overheating issues on an 2014 merc 3.5 when I was attempting to diagnose and pulled the lower unit the drive shaft was full of soot and carbon on the top 20 cm. I’m leaning towards blown gasket but does the carbon indicate anything?
I also own a tohatsu 9.8.. Firstly im looking to convert it to electric start so was wondering if you knew how to install the flywheel ring gear?,im unsure if the gear is fastened or if its heated up then placed on the flywheel. Secondly next year i intend to replace the head gasket and exhaust plate gasket/s but have heard that head bolts often shear when doing so, in your opinion will heat treatment help with this?, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi, your great. Been a real help in a lot of ways for me rebuilding my 1989 110 v4 Johnson motor. I have question maybe you can help with.
