Hey Bill congrads your getting close to 3,000 subs,well done.Glad thermo issue is resolved.Next if this was mine grommets would be replaced motor is 25 years old and its a no brainer from my experience. I just seen you did have the powerhead off & pulled cylinder head & side covers. Maybe just get a complete new OMC waterpump kit and install it. That motor being longshaft calls for the long rubber grommet at the waterpump outlet preferbly.I have one of these motors there great when all is right.Flush attachments in my opinion are for flushing not accurate for judging cooling pressure and block temp tests,submerge it. That large knob on tiller end is for adjusting idle at closed position C/W to raise or C/C to lower or vise versa not sure..Thanks for shoutout and was that salt water in the bay test???? Later Buddy Oh and you spelled my name wrong up top its Corr: TheOutboardTinkerer62... HEEEHAAA!

hahaha as always thanks big guy!! youre a riot!! HEEHAW! yeah that was salt water but we flushed it!

I'd still put a light coat of sealant on water pump base, so it seals very well. Costs nothing to do so and might make a difference. Great video!

[@BlackoutBilll21]

nice tip! I believe I did that! lol thanks for commenting!!

Bruh you are awesome!!!,,,,I have a question for you about a 5.5hp Evinrude outboard 1960 and I did watch the video you made for that specific model but I am having a problem getting the two front bolts to the power head back in can you please tell me a easy way to install them?.

[@BlackoutBilll21]

Try feeding the bolt through with a long extension and a screw driver attachment. That’s what I did and had zero issues… make sure that power head base gasket is straight!

[@BlackoutBilll21]

And thank you for the kind words!!!

[@briandotson8735]
